"These Ba$tard$ need food , shelter, clothing, etc. like the rest of us. They either need jobs or funds from supporters for travel and the acqusition of bomb and torch materials."

The info out on ELF is really sketchy, but, as I understand it, they are assumed to be at least financially upper middle class and very mobile and well equiped. The Vail job was done on skis. They skied in, torched the place and skied out. The FBI is having a hard time finding them. At least the last time I saw a report on ELF. That ELF would destroy 70 years worth of work is typical of the jobs they do.

George Bush said the United States would hunt down and severely punish all those who represent a terrorist threat to our country. I hope that includes the ELF because these sickos certainly fall into that category.

If these people cared about the environment, they would recognize that advancing technology benefits the environment. The only reason that hunter-gatherers had less environmental impact than people today is that there were far fewer of them.

Of course, ELF et al. would probably be delighted to reduce mankind's impact on the environment by getting rid of half the population (themselves excluded, of course) but otherwise they refuse to acknowledge that technology is what makes environmental conservation practical.
