But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg. -Thomas Jefferson, 1782
What does this quote have to do with tree huggers? Well, if someone wants to protest without harming me or my community, then go for it! Unfourtunately, more & more tree huggers aren't satisfied with civil disobedience. They want to (and have) burned large homes under construction and large automobiles because they consider them "environmentally unfriendly". The hypocrisy of some of these greenie wackos is what truly galls me. The Hollywood types that fly to exclusive Colorado mountain resorts in their private jets, picked up by gas guzzling SUV's (usually a Hummer), surrounded by private armed security guards. Then the same people lecture the rest of us on how we need to ride a bicycle to work, travel less, and give up private ownership of firearms, all for the greater good. Yea, right.
