'cause what's more environmentally friendly than cutting down forests and using their wood to actually, y'know, build things?  Burning those same forests TO THE GROUND.

Well, maybe, but then I think about the poor fucks who are working 12 hour days just to pay the mortgages.  They never see their kids or their wives, but they have nice homes.

I've never been there and you may be right, but I see long prison sentences for a group of young, ignorant, idealistic, self-righteous lambs.

Ah Elf, The non organization that caused coniptions on how to redfine the law of who is to be included as a terrorist

While I wouln't be surprised if it was kids the first thing I would do as an investigator is look very carefully into the financing on these expensively decorated and furnished unsold model showhomes.

Back in the real estate bust of the early 1990s when all new housing starts ceased completely in the suburbs of Philly and on Cape Cod, there was a neighboring developer who ran into a financial bind at the prospect of not being able to sell his spec homes in time to head off the impending note coming due. So he burned down the unsold houses for the insurance and blamed it on radical enviormentalists. He had documented threats after all. It worked so well he rebuilt one of the homes and burned it down again a few months later.

The only problem was that the local conservationists who ran the organisations which opposed the developers permits were all bluebloods who were trying to preserve the contiguousness of their fox hunting club. His direct neighbor was my friend's father, Master of the Hounds and a lawyer who founded and financed a national organization that pioneered open space tax easements and land banks as method of preservation. These well healed establishment folks did not take kindly to accustations of radicalism and they eventually put the screws to state law enforcement to investigate deeper into the finances of the developer.

Yeah it would be a timely and easy MO to fake. But if Jewish lightning did strike here I admire the developer's large cajones. It takes a set of big ones to attract the attention of the feds But then again given that eco terrorists have been a pet project of Bush's special interests they probably wouldn't want to admit they were wrong and might just be happy to pin it on some foolish kids
