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.

I'm also native born..and I aint gonna be quite about it. LOL....

I understand what they are doing. And I even understand their reasoning. If you've ever seen the back side of Wah Chang or the paper mill next door you might get a little ruffled too. The difference is that I understand and accept the price of industrialization, pollution. They don't. If they want to return to the land they should get the hell out of the most industrialized country on earth and move to some remote Canadian outpost. Because trying to get us off of industries teat is a futile endevor that will only create a backlash that their "peace-love-happiness" credo does not prepare them for.
