Am starting to think Sungirl was Ingrid.

I'm wondering as well. She'd usually spin up when I'd share some of my Fraulein Newkirk PETA personality cult stories.

OK...I'll get the H1. The H2 is kind of a weeniemobile, after all.

You think that's a weeniemobile? Just wait'll the H3 comes out.

Here's a C&D spyshot of it:

I know. Its almost like US Law Enforcement doesnt feel this is "real" terrorism or smething. One of these days, one of these granola whackos is going to kill someone. Thats probably what it will take before Al-Qaeda and ELF are considered the same threat.

I used to tell Sungirl that there was nothing like eating the freshly bbq'ed backstrap of a deer that you just harvested. Yummy. I can't wait until bowseason, less than a month away.

Why don't we take hostages?
They burn a SUV.
We clear-cut 100 acres of old growth forest.

5. Put you hair into dirty dreads (it does not matter if you are white)

All these eco-nuts are white. All. Is that racial profiling? You bet it is.

Ever seen a black eco-nut?

Actually, it would cooler to just spraypaint the actual 'activists'... I need time to think on the actual burning part, though...

Maybe we should publically come out and say that for every single act of environmental terrorism, no matter how large or small, we will cut down 100 acres of old growth forest...

I got hit with some of the paint, I grabbed him, a scrawny kid, and his 2 partners in crime took off. I beat the living tar out of him for a couple of minutes before I composed myself and left...Anyway, it was back when dinkins ran NY and a guy could beat up someone on the street in early evening and make an escape so long as he did it in under 15 minutes - I just took 2 minutes, so I was in the clear!///More people need to beat up the thugs that do these stunts.

GLAD TO HEAR IT...both counts...agree on the third. :)

Life imprisonment sounds good.

Ever seen a black eco-nut? Sure, but they were not African-American, just rich African sent to America for an education. So, they had plenty of guilt going around.

Drop the "enviro-terrorist". A terrorist is a terrorist, no matter what the so-called cause is.

Acoording to the ELF they have to destroy the planet in order to save it.

They are dedicated to the destruction of technology and ultimately the human race. I think that many of them actually want to see the end of humanity, or at least a regression to the stone age.

But are they really terrorists? Some posters here seem to think so and some comments I think are a bit over the top (string em up, shoot em, etc...)
They are a criminal gang and need to be prosecuted for arson, vandalism, etc...I would hope that the FBI would be smart enough to plant or pay an informer over there in Oregon or among the Peta/ALF/ELF/Earth First!, types.

Great minds think alike LOL... at the same time, even!

We need Tom Clancy to write a book about an Elf-like organization in one of his next books for this to become a big issue for people. Back here in the East most people associate Elf with cookies.

High-living celebs tie SUV owners to terror
Backers of TV ad campaign get along with 21-car garage, private jet travel

"Huffington says she has turned in her 13-mile- per-gallon Lincoln Navigator SUV for a hybrid gas and electric Toyota Prius that gets 52 miles per gallon, but she still makes her home in a 9,000-square-foot estate in the elite Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles.

"She admitted to radio talk show host Sean Hannity on Tuesday that she travels in private jets, though she told another WABC radio host in New York yesterday, Curtis Sliwa, that she does it at the "sacrifice" of frequent flier miles.

[SNIP]"Howard Becker of Becker Automotive Design, Inc., told WorldNetDaily that, to no one's surprise, Hollywood celebrities, including some leading environmental activists, are inclined toward vehicles with "more powerful engines."

"Becker said he could not discuss his many celebrity clients, but his website includes a list of customers.

"Celebrities who have ordered custom-built SUV or truck-based limousines along with Fonda and Eisner are Barbra Streisand, Whoopi Goldberg, Elizabeth Taylor, Jerry Seinfeld, Charlie Sheen, Will Smith, Denzel Washington, Cher, Sylvester Stallone, Ben Affleck, Adam Sandler, Michael Jackson, Michael Douglas and Eddie Murphy.

"A lot of what we do here is meant to be subtle on the outside so [the celebrities] don't draw attention," Becker said. "Inside, many of the vehicles have all the luxuries and amenities that are part of their current state in life."

"Streisand's publicist was unavailable for comment, but the actress and political activist has been known, at least in the past, to travel about town in a 45-foot, fully equipped motor home that gets about six to eight miles per gallon. She has told people close to her that the massive vehicle is necessary, even for short trips, in order to avoid germs at public restrooms.

"Goldberg and Affleck are among the "legions of Hollywood celebrities" who have "hopped into the truck du jour," the Cadillac Escalade, the Los Angeles Times said Nov. 24, helping "rekindle interest in a luxury brand that has lost its luster in recent years."
