Obviously, you didn't follow the conversation.
"They" are "ELF", "Earth First" and the general population of the enviroWACKIES.


I should know, I used to be one.

"Obviously, you didn't follow the conversation.

Which conversation? ELF and earth first have not been linked to these crimes, as far as I know. I dislike them as much as you, only I don't draw the same conclusion that all environmentalists are envirowackies. For instance, I live on 30 acres. I don't have any desire to cut down the trees, and if I do, they will be dead trees and I will burn the remains after the cut. If the tree is dead and an owl is using it, I will not cut it. Does that make me an "enviorowhackie?" When I fish and hook a bass who is ready to spawn, I release the bass. Is that whackie? When I see a coyote or other so-called "varmint,"
I will not shoot it, because I recognize it's place in the ecosystem. If it threatens any of my animals, I will fire warning shots and if that doesn't work I will kill it. If I see a rattlesnake I will not kill it unless it is on my property or near a home that has children. Am I whackie for not killing a snake on my trail while going fishing?
I promote the use of alternative energy and I really don't like overgrazing. I don't like the city and prefer developers don't turn my small town into one. Does that make me whackie? When I see a car belching smoke, I don't think about how forest fires cause more pollution. When I see a herd of deer, I thank God for that privelege rather than wanting to replace those deer with another herd of people. Maybe you think that's whackie, but I don't.
