If ALF is a terrorist orgainization, and this should serve to qualifiy it as one, why does it still have a web site? Why are it's officers still free? What the hell is wrong with the law enforcement oversight community that would allow bastards like these to roam free?

If they are claiming responsibility for terrorist attacks, they are as guilty as the perp.

You might go back and read that book again. :-)

When activists of any stripe demand rights for animals, rocks, or plants, what they are really doing is demanding disproportionate representation of their interests as self-appointed advocates. Unfortunately, to enforce a right requires the police power of government, because it is assumed to be a disinterested arbiter of competing claims.

History suggests the opposite, which is why limiting the number of enforceable rights is as important to securing liberty as is constituting them as such.

When government gains the power to confer rights to any constituency, it acquires the means to confer power upon itself as an enforcing agent. There is then no limit to the power to dilute the rights of citizens. Agency respect for the rights of citizens then exists not at all.
