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.

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!!!

WRONG (on all fronts).

Except the alleged eco-terrorists have a dragon. You know, to start the fires.

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.

uhhh, last time i checked, there is a bit of a diff between a homeless shelter and a mcmansion. pretty much on every front.

 

good point though, thanks for bringing it up.

What if they had burned four puppies?

[rob]

You're making the baby jesus cry, tvash. We talked about that.

[tvashtarkatena]

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.

[G-spotter]

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.

22 pages of this = no life?

 

That movie sucked anyways, now it's become an annual Christmas classic.

[dmuja]

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!
