As he saw it, "that was my land that was my entrance to the preserve."
That's how "environmentalists" view "the wilderness"... as their personal land.
Like ELF, he is a threat to even people with sincere concern for the environment. I hope they throw away the key to this guy's cell.

He set that first fire on April 9, 2000, at a large home under construction near the Phoenix Mountain Preserve, because, he said, the house was spoiling his favorite jogging trail. As he saw it, "that was my land that was my entrance to the preserve."
"The house was a direct affront to me personally," said Mr. Sands, himself the owner of a modest house bordering the preserve.
In my area some of the most hostile enviral anti human Nazis are recent people in the valley. They own large homes with good views. Their homes are made of sacred wood. Within weeks of moving in the enviral anti other human virus strikes and the newcomers join the no new homes Nazis with money, time and a venegance! Of course that drives the value of their homes right up when no new homes are allowed.
But as one arson grew to eight...
Sounds more like a serious nut, not even an activist.

Timber and oil are other resources that are getting increasingly in short supply and we have wealthy private corporations and individuals who take much more than they give.
To make a case for conservation: Creating land that has time to return to early prarie conditions where erosion and native fauna and wildlife abound is a good thing. Allowing cattle and sheep to graze the land should come at a fair price. It is public land that these people exploit. If it were private land you can bet they would pay a fair price.
Not every piece of gold or every gallon of oil needs to be extracted and put into a barrel to have worth. Leaving a small reserve of "all" our natural resources is sound plannig for the long term security of our country. No crise exits that threatens our way of life so much that we can't save 2 or 3% of our resources in their natural state.
Our state governments and the federal government should collect a real fee from logging companies and others who exploit the public lands and not have oversight of various industries by former ceos and board members.

Geez, I just did a quick review of the Constitution, Article 1, Section 8 which lays out what the goobermint can and can't do and nowhere in that do I find any authorization from "we the people" for the Federals to own one square foot of "National Forest", "National Park" or any other such.
All that land should be thrown open. Get the goobermint out of the land-owning business.
Public land, my patootie.
