19. that's a perfectly good argument
Edited on Sat May-26-07 10:39 PM by realisticphish
I'll have to think about it. But i was more focusing on the idea that causing destruction is "stopping corporate greed," and thus tacitly approved of.

Which I do not, to clarify. I despise the ELF people and their ilk; I'm a big supporter of the Sierra Club and WWF, and I try to buy from humanitarian companies when possible, anything other than personal violence toward the CEOs will simply be inconveniencing the workers, or, ironically, result in another bulldozer being built (consuming natural resources) and the tree will come down anyway.

And no, I'm not advocating violence either.

Sorry for the rant, it's not really directed at you.

Anywho, I don't consider terrorism to be only terrorism if it's directed toward the government. That may be the legal definition in this case, but if Al Qaeda sets off bombs in a mall, we're sure as hell calling that terrorism.
