Seriously, we're surprised the local news stations have not created special icons to attach to all of their recent environmentally-motivated arson stories. Usually, if an event has gone on this long or had this much prominent news coverage in Seattle, local newscasters have given it some sort of pet-name by now.

What defines a terrorist or terrorism? You know, besides standing between a Republican and the camera he wants to install in your panty drawer? Is it your actions? Is it your nationality? Is it your race? Is it your intent? We better figure it out because there are suddenly a whole lot of laws on the books all over the place that say criminals get this sentence and terrorists get this other one. Down in Eugene right now the (and this next word is important) eco-saboteurs who perpetrated a string of arsons across the Pacific Northwest are about to be sentenced.

Someone was finally charged with arson in the case of the UW Horticulture fire of 2001 and no it wasn't someone from Eugene although we know you want to jump to that conclusion you anti-Oregonian. She's from Berkeley which we hope was going to be your second guess.

Love the environment. Protect the environment. Do your best to repair the environment. We all have our own ways of doing those things. Seattlest might take the bus to work. Maybe you wear hemp underwear and only drink organically produced beer. These other guys over here maybe plant incendiary devices at tree farms and UW research centers. Actually, while we may feel that your hemparoos are criminal, it's that last form of loving the environment that brings the law down on you. No incendiary devices, guys.
