I agree with Lincoln. Their hearts are in the right place but their target was not legitimate. After all, wood is a great renewable source of material, and as long as the trees are replanted and allowed to regrow, that is fine with me, it shows that we can integrate with an ecosystem constructively for once.

I think the logging company and the city have a right to sue for damages. It is one thing to protest and another to inflict harm on a private company and a city.

If these environuts got there way in 1800s we all would living in a wild west scenario... 90% of the economy dependent on agriculture.

If they get there way now, they could wipe out millions of jobs and not to mention wipe out future advancements like fuel cells because they want to destroy companies.

I say they all should be locked up for the sake of everyone.

I agree, protesting is no excuse for unlawful behavior.

How about environuts being around in the 1800s?

And the wild west only existed in the wild west. We all wouldn't be living in it.

Protecting the environment is not akin to hampering scientific progress or modernization.

I was just making a note of it. If policies like their's were inplace then the economy would stay independent on agriculture.

I disagree. And that is all I am going to say because I don't feel like arguing with somebody who calls my opinion idiotic. Later dude.

1. Protecting the environment isn't anti-company. It's anti-companies-destroying-the-environment.

2. Would you rather...live off the land...or be extinct?

You're establishing a false dichotomy here, anyway.

while waiting for a more democracy friendy government

There in lies the problem, che. What is democratic about hijacking a truck to tie it down? I mean at least in Palestine you can argue that the Israeli government perpetrated the violence first, and this is just a response. That logging company never did anything to these enviornmentalists.

As for being "effective," I bet the cops had to spend a lot more money than the logging company, which just had to lose the services of a truck for 4 hours. Big deal.

This is capitalism. What will get things done is money. If you really care about the enviornment, spend your time getting a lot of money, and then use it to buy up a whole lot of land to set aside for no development. Now there can be occasional problems (eminent domain, revolution in country you bought land from and then "land reform"), but on the whole it's a pretty good technique. I contribute very little money to any cause (due to the lack of a job until recently), but that's the one cause I actually have contributed a semi-reasonable amount to, buying land in- drat, I can't even be sure which Central American country it was now. Oh well.

I have some land in "East Scatalonia" that I want to set aside for development.

Interested?

Thanks to the enviromentalists in Arizona and Colorado there are 100,000 acres currently burning and the little fuzzy nutted tree squirrel they were trying to save by allowing no forest management has it's nuts also frying. Nice job.
Support the environment. Bah!

The problem with environmentalists is they have no $$$. If they have deep pockets they can buy a few lackeys in Capitol Hill to push legislature in their favour.

The difficulty I have with environmentalists is twofold:
They ignore the fact homo sapiens are PART of the environment, NOT existing outside of it. That's why I included the definition.
The second issue is that the law of unintended consequences exists. A full 97% of my state is federal or state land no private groups are allowed to build on, and yet the management of the land is hampered by environmentalists. The previous fire we had was in an area the Forest Service marked for cleanup and controlled burn, and the environmentalists filed an injunction and halted it. Later that summer the brown bear the environmentalists said would be disturbed by the cleanup lost 90% of the female population in one of the largest fires in state history which started there. I believe in conservation, not environmentalism.
BTW, we always got a laugh in engineering school when anti-nuke power environmentalists would protest because the put a picture of a cooling tower with the ban symbol over it, which as engineers we agree with. Dump the hot water right into the lake or river

I have to agree with Fez on one point. He is more clear than anybody else on these boards. He clearly states his ultra-conservative views. You can accuse him of being evil, greedy, immoral, incompetent, wrong, etc, but you can't say he isn't clear about his points.

Bah! I don't even consider myself ultra-conservative in Europe.

I affiliate myself with this party: http://www.pp.es - Aznar's party. He is starting a major water project that will get the usual criticism from environuts...

So let's not hold any companies accountable for destroying the environment. Brilliant. What planet are you from? Well, the planet you will end up being on is going to be a barren rock if you had your way. What good will all that R&D do you if you have to suit up like an astronaut to go to the corner store for milk?

The only think more disconcerting that environmental extremists are anti-environment extremists like you.

He may have clear beliefs, but in this instance he didn't state something clearly, and then accused me of not stating something clearly. That was not the case.

Fez:

Stop being such a whiney brat. Just because people disagree with your opinions doesn't mean they are insulting you. Just because someone considers your beliefs ultraconservative and you do not doesn't make it an insult. If you're going to post your opinions, prepare to defend them. Don't complain when people comment on them. Grow up.
