"Isn't it easy to demonize the many based on the actions of a few? "
"Just because you disagree with eco politics doesn't mean people who care about the enviornment are criminals."

Say, aren't you the one who posted links to gossip rags about Princess Diana?
Funny how you Demonized her.
And when you burn houses, equipment, drive spikes into trees to cause damage to lumber mill sawblades and cause death, it is quite easy to disagree with them.
You might want to choose your heroes a little better.
And isn't it funny how you're chastising me for 'lumping' envirowackies together, and you were gossiping about Princess Diana.

Hmmm.

Very interesting.

Charles and Camilla were being demonized and any link I posted was to demonstrate that she was not an angel, blameless and morally untarnished. Then again, the ISSUE was that I said all people concerned about the enviornment cannot be placed in a category with a few extremists to discredit an issue, just as placing all pro-life people in a category with abortion doctor killers does not change the fact that abortion is the taking of an innocent life.

Please show me where I said eco-terrorists are my heroes? You really need to show me where I said this before making such an outrageous statement. I never said such a thing, I indicated that as a conservationist and angler, I am concerned about the killing of these fish who are badly threatened in my region.

I said people concerned about the environment are not terrorists and cannot be linked in with them, any more than an average Arab can be linked with terrorists. My post was directed toward bringing people back down to earth and to illustrate the illogic of environmentalists having a motive to kill off fish they have been trying to save for decades. Also, I correctly pointed out that any eco-terrorist action directed toward saving salmon would involve busting dams, not killing fish at a hatchery.

"And isn't it funny how you're chastising me for 'lumping' envirowackies together, and you were gossiping about Princess Diana."

There is no equivalency there. You were probably gossiping about Camilla and making fun of her because she is an older woman who isn't as beautiful as we expect Princesses to be.
I showed that Diana was no angel, and that is true. Even in your post above, you infer that average people concerned about the envioronment are linked with those who spike trees, burn bulldozers and murder people. It aint the same.
I donate money to the nature conservancy, pay fishing license fees, and promote nature. So you will understand that I am offended by your claim that I am in favor of eco-terrorism.
