Mal_Con Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 no you didn't. As a matter of fact I did. Here is a part of a Seattle Times editorial on the subject: Matters are not helped by dragon-breathing. One overzealous radio host, KIRO-AM's Dori Monson, foolishly said there was not much difference between the alleged eco-terrorists and law-abiding public officials who advocate environmentally-oriented public policy. Earth-friendly laws and policies of King County Executive Ron Sims and the Metropolitan King County Council, whom Monson smeared, can be debated by reasonable people. Monson was not reasonable. He chuckled as he said he did not consider arson that far from certain policies of Sims and the council. Torching houses, even unoccupied ones, is a dramatic and dangerous act. It makes sense to patiently and calmly solve the crime the old-fashioned way — with careful and meticulous investigative work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLC Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 dude, i assume yer plunking down 100 k for a friggin sportscar (that you'll get to push hardly ever), and yer worrying about mileage and maintenance? wow. ok let's assume yer for real, and these are the actual considerations whirling through this little middle-age crisis brain of yers: get a fucking Tesla. seriously. it's a real car that blows away yer perty ego show car. Actually, the Tesla is vaporware. Let me know when they start selling production models... and when did 35 become middle-aged? Maintenance costs on high-end sports cars can be a significant cost factor - the 30K mile service on a Ferrari can cost upwards of $20,000!!!

Maintenance costs on high-end sports cars can be a significant cost factor - the 30K mile service on a Ferrari can cost upwards of $20,000!!! pfff, yer not buying a ferrari.

Except the alleged eco-terrorists have a dragon. You know, to start the fires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayB Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Broken record time: If we substituted "four McMansions," for "four homeless shelters," "four low-income housing units," "four ACLU offices," "four union halls," or the perennial favorite "four abortion clinics"...the rhetoric issuing forth from the cc.com commentariat would be rather different.

tvashtarkatena Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 The Marines just brought 7 puppies back from Eye-Rack. Not a PR stunt, oh no, nothing to do with tossing a puppy into a ditch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Moral of the story: it's OK to kill a puppy if you rescue 7 of them afterwards. And OK to burn down houses if you live in a carbon-free cave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmuja Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 So I guess if this is what we now call "terrorism" then this must have been our own "911". Oh the humanity! The horror, the horror! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
