I think that the Earth Liberation Front is a bunch of nerds turned terrorists. It's just a matter of time before your goofy, useless antics hurt or kill someone. The fire's you start can easily spread and harm people that have done nothing to you. You say that you fight to "SAVE THE EARTH" which I think is a bunch of crap. You freaks terrorize innocent people. You sabatoge things that the owners worked really hard to get. You scream about "raping" the land. What about the clothes you are wearing, and the homes that you live in? Were they magically constructed from ELF dust? No. They were biult and made using the same natural resouces that you claim we are "stealing" from mother earth. You guys are crazy insane, and most of all unbelievably stupid. Think about the things you are doing. You are human just like the rest of us. You torch car dealerships, do you walk everywhere? You burn homes, do you live in a cave? You sabotage farm equipment, what do you eat? Your actions do not reflect concern fro nature, but rather the stupidity and foulness of the underbelly of America, give it up, your stunts are not helping anything. Someone is goiung to get hurt, maybe even a child. Then you will be nothing but cold-blooded murderers.................

Poor Poor JS. Doesn't take the time to understand the issue. It's not about destroying property someone worked really hard for. It's about sending a message to a land developer without a conscience towards sprawl and unethical business practices. Nor is it about destroying a farmer business but a strike against a large corporation that bio-engineers seeds/crops that can't reproduce making sure that they will get the farmer's money in the future. It's not about burning car dealerships because they walk every where. Take Ford or Toyota -- nearly half of the models these two companies produce are large SUV or pickups with poor fuel efficiency. The issue is responsible use of natural resources. No longer are the days of killing buffalo for sport, clearing cutting and filling in swampland for a stripmall or Enron business practices acceptable. Some haven't heard that message and need to see first hand that a small group of radicals will hold them accountable. If ELF continues to carefully plan its strikes against these self-absorbed, ignorant corporation/bureacracy then more attention and action by the law-abiding moral majority (such as J.S. ?) will follow.

they have failed to accomplish their stated goals. All they have done is arrange for some insurance settlements and windfalls for a few construction companies.

They need to stop attacking symbolic targets and go after the real thing.

earth first is the public relations and fundraising arm of earth liberation front. their job is to collect money to fund the actions , to recruit members.
earth liberation front evolved out of earth first in the early 1990's as the more radical activists wanted to
"take more action then merely demonstrating"
earth first has been their link to the out side world
their source of new members and funding to run the organization. they also serve to put out confusing and misleading information to the public after and major attacks in an attempt do keep the public from demanding action be taken against ELF.

First off, 'J.S' must be retarded- he cannot even spell simple words.. Second-'J.S'- Do not comment on matters you cannot even begin to understand, noone wants to hear/read what your dumb@ss is thinking.. I think the E.L.F is the start of something which should have been established a long time ago.. Personally I think it is too late for a 'battle for mother earth'. The future of mankind is inevitable, we no longer have a choice to preserve the natural environment.. Why do you think the Governments are soo interested in 'space exploration'? Once we have depleted all the natural resources(raw materials), the Earth will become a massive graveyard.. But they do not care because they would be long gone before that time came.. These people only see in a straight line, they only understand $MONEY$, they are blind to the residual consequences of their actions/ideas.. They claim to be 'concerned' about the environment, but honestly they do not have enough 'time' to give a rat's @ss about the Earth.. They are the 'flesh eating virus' of Mother Earth, and they constantly distract the people from the truly important issues.. They have left environmentalists no choice but to take action.. Using their 'system' to peacefully protest will solve nothing, it will only waste time.. They label people who take action helping save Mother Earth, as 'terrorists'. That is their new word for 'rebels', hoping that it will confuse the people to take their side..

'They' = U.S. Government, Masters of Deception..
