They came to Oregon during the sixties and seventies. There is something about this area that attracts them. Probably it's the awe inspiring green land-scapes and heavy rain-fall. I think the eco-nazis up here consider themselves as the "roughin' it" greens while the southern ones are considered to be "sunshine" or psuedo-greens. And yes the people are sick of it...see my posts above...

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.
