No. Are people who picket to stop logging an old growth forest considered "terrorits?" Yes. Hmmmm, seems there is a disparity in the system. Anything that slows a company from raping our ecosystem is now considered "ecoterrorism" and that folks is our money hungry administration at its best. I consider the IRS more of a "terrorist," but we wouldn't want to over-use the term now would we?</p> http://seattlest.com/2006/05/08/times_ready_to_dump_ecoterrorist_label.php#comment-163810 http://seattlest.com/2006/05/08/times_ready_to_dump_ecoterrorist_label.php#comment-163810 Comments Tue, 09 May 2006 11:28:35 -0800 <p>Here in Kitsap the organizers of the Viking Festival (http://www.kitsapsun.com/bsun/local/article/0,2403,BSUN_19088_4684836,00.html ) have been receiving racist threatening letters since they picked an African American girl as the festival queen. Is that terrorism? Are the psychos that mail packages of dish soap labeled as anthrax to women’s clinics terrorists? Are the psychos that stockpile firearms and plan to fight the ATF and FBI terrorists? Are the psychos that harass women’s clinic doctors terrorists? Groups like ELF and ALF are idiots and vandals but since they are not threatening violence against people I have a hard time considering them terrorists. </p>
