Proceeds from the tour, if there are any, will, according to the official Web site, go to help West Coast anarchist and Earth Liberation Front prisoners such as Jeffrey "Free" Luers and Craig "Critter" Marshall, both convicted of arson for fire-bombing a car dealership in Oregon.

Grampa Dave, I hope you don't mind me posting this here. This is an exerpt from an essay by the above mentioned "Critter". He is, from his jail cell, calling on people to destroy power plants. I see no distinction between him and these jihadis we're fighting. They really do aim to destroy power plants.

I post this just to help build the case that these characters aren't just an innocent bunch of dreadlocked hippies talking a big game. When they figure out how to do a power plant- that's exactly what they're going to do. Keep in mind, this is from this year. Critter has had much time to reflect on terrorism since 9/11 and apparantly he thinks it's a good thing.

An Introduction, April 2002 I'm not going to say much about what's going on inside the razor wire here in prison. To be honest, who really gives a fuck? Yeah, life in here sucks, and everyday is a struggle, but what's really important is what people are, and need to be doing out there. As a movement we need to focus on attacking the hub of the wheels of oppression, for without the hub, the spokes fall uselessly. Prison is just one of those spokes, not a hub. Attacking spokes may slowly make the wheel weaker, but by attacking the hubs, all the spokes will fall making the earth a place where we can healthily co-habitate with all the other creatures. To find these hubs, we need to ask ourselves what the problems of our society are, and then trace them back to a physical manifestation of these problems that can be attacked. When we realize what these legitimate targets are then we need to trace these targets back to their sources and attack there.

An example of what I mean is this-consumer society is traced back to consumer goods and the consumer mentality. These both can be traced back to corporations and their physical manifestations-factories, newspapers, laboratories etc-these can be traced back to electricity, for without it production would virtually halt. Electricity follows back to powerlines and powerlines to dams and powerplants. I'm sure you can come up with similar type scenarios. There are many places where one could attack, but in the scenario I provided, the production of electricity is the center (i.e. the hub), so it follows that if one could do something to prevent electricity from being produced (I'll leave that up to your imaginations) every process after it would halt. I'm not saying everyone needs to go crack a dam (hell, there wouldn't be enough to go around, but that's also a part of the point), but someone better start doing something because life on this planet rides on each and every one of our decisions to act or to be cowards.

While I am not a Druid, on the behalf of the rather limited number of true Druid's that may or may not exist in the current physical world, I am offended by the blasphemy of the religion by these ignorant, bored , college drop-outs,theology deprived, eco-idiots.!

A true Druid would consign them to the coldness of the stone, for their careless suicide of their eternal soul!

I may not have the correct Earth religion consignment, as few actual druids continue to actively interact on this plane of existance.

I can't tell if it is Eugene, Portland or Ashland, Oregone!

Try Santiago, Chile. But you're close.

Okay, destroy society as we know it! First order of business for me to secure food for my family, killl the racoons that bug the CRAP out of me daily and stew them. Then I'd take my various assault rifles and off many deer for conversion to venison jerky. Next to stock the larder, I'd go to the fish estuaries and lob in a 1/4 stick to "harvest" my bounty.

GOOD JOB GREENO WHACKOS. Your efforts just wiped out the ecosystem you tried to protect. Talk about unentended consequences!

All the polls you mentioned will attend via SUV.

Geez, man, why don't they just get ahold of some stolen Russian nuke and blow up the world, then? These people are crazy.

Its important to understand the underlying philosophical motives of the greenies. Ayn Rand hit the nail on the head when she described them thus:

"The old marxist leftists at least believed in technology's possibility in advancing the status of mankind. They spilled rivers of blood and oceans of ink defending the idea that all the people on the earth could have shoes from one modern shoe factory...and all that stood in the way was the capitalistic concept of private ownership of the means of production."

"But, when the leftists discovered the undeniable truth about their system's productive capacity vs capitalism's...they turned away from industrialization, and declared that it was better for man to go barefoot."

Basically, in a nutshell, that is the underlying origin of leftist environmentalism: sour grapes. Their utopia was revealed to be a fraud, and now they have turned away from progress altogether.

Nice quote from Rand. Is that from The New Left: The Anti-Industrial Revolution?

Ebuck.....I'm also in Oregon ( native born......shhhhhhhh). I also think that the reason they stay is because the extreme liberal bias found in the population centers of Eugene and Portland breeds tolerance, 'understanding', and sufficient 'guilt' that the violence is overlooked, even understood by many. The type of people who would be 'proud' to say that they wouldn't mind if their sister/brother/daughter/son married an environmentalist. The Sierra Club hubris runs deep. The sheer arrogance of the few knowing what is best for the many is cultivated by many in Oregon.

enjoy the musical stylings of punk rock bands such as..."The Fartz,"

Aptly-named group.

Please don't knock 'em until you've listened to their music.

"The Fartz": They're loud and obnoxious. Some of their songs are real stinkers. Other songs, played so low that the band sometimes won't admit to releasing them, but yet seem to be the first to realize the melody's bouquet. Come hear the Fartz! Concert-goers are responsible for their own face-masks and air freshener. Oxygen and breathable air will be available at the medical assistance tent at the far southwest corner of the grounds. Medical Assistants, as tools of the Capitalist Running Dogs, will not be allowed outside of their roped-in area. Concert patrons requiring respitorial help after too much of the Fartz will have to walk or crawl, wheezing and gasping, to the medical assistance area

I shudder to think what kinds of diseases these leftover "flower children" are spreading.

Makes you wonder what types of photos they have of him have illegal sex with old growth trees and/or endangered species.

Reminds me of an old joke about Al Gore.

Did you know Al Gore is credited with creating the first internet porn site?
It was a picture of a tree pollinating itself.

And along those lines...

Did you know the US was naming a forest after Bill Clinton?
Yep, all the tree are rotten and they lean to the left.
