"This has caused unspeakable turmoil in the environmental community", lamented Rainbow Treetower, spokesperson for the local Falls Canyon chapter of the Save Our Earth Society. She noted that one female environmentalist was seriously injured during an altercation over the issue when a male associate tried to choke her by entangling her in a large dream catcher.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
Irresistible force meets immovable object !
Check the other stories and the disclaimer at the site. hehe.
Shouldn't even be an issue. They gotta go for the squirrels because that is where the nuts are.
You can't make this stuff up. ROTFLMAO
ROFL..Had me going until I got to the end.
OMG!! If you want a good laugh read the artical off the link.
in this case "truth is stranger than fiction"
Rainbow Treetower? LOL
Har, har, har.
I tell you, the enviro's HATE capitalism, and (at best) wish for us to retreat to neo-cave staus: in harmony with nature of course.
I guess you can make this stuff up. Got me.
Funny and ironic one of these environmentalist whack jobs being choked with a giant "dream catcher". If it's a joke then I fell for the bait.
OMG this is hysterical!
The other stories at the main site are just as funny. My favorite is this one:

"Hunter Jeremiah Johnson comforts a polar bear that had collapsed from heat exhaustion before he could shoot it. "
Why, thank you.
While I am at it, make sure you freep their polls. Very entertaining. :)
" guess you can make this stuff up"
Best satire is so close to reality, it's hard to tell the difference.
Thank you for this Saturday night entertainment, very, very funny!
Although this is satire, you don't know how close this is to reality. I worked on an advanced technology power plant near Ridgecrest, CA in the 1980s. The plant's owner had to erect a chain link fence that enclosed 1/2 square mile due to an endangered ground squirrel on the power plant property. This was the offsetting requirement for the plant sitting on squirrel territory. Now these aren't cute little tree squirrels. These are rodents that burrow in the ground like prairie dogs, leaving many, many holes behaind that break horse legs. Get this -- the fence had to go underground about 3 feet so coyotes couldn't dig under the fence and eat the squirrels. And there was a gate for vehicles to enter the squirrel habitat. When I asked why they needed a vehicle gate, I was told this was so the enviros could "maintain" the habitat. Now, around Ridgecrest, everything is ROCK. Nothing grows there. It's barren high desert. I never understood how you "maintain" rocky high desert.
The cost of the fence was recovered in the price of electricity sold by the plant, so all Southern California electricity buyers paid to save these ground rats. This was my first real up-close and personal introduction to enviro wackos. I was conservative before this experience, but it really set me in my ways.
Credit to whoever was the first freeper to come up with this site. I put it in my favorites immediately!
