"And we be many, but you be few"? That's as linguistically as embarrassing as the Hutarees, who say that their name means "Christian soldier." (Their leader likes to make up words.)

If you are going to run a revolutionary outfit, at least do it in proper style.

Oh, and where is the ATF on this one?

More of the same. Have fun:

Emerging battle-bruised from the disaster zone of Copenhagen, but ever-hopeful, a rider on horseback brought news of darkness and light: "The politicians have failed. Now it's up to us. We must break the law to make the laws we need: laws that are supposed to protect society, and protect our future. Until our laws do that, screw being climate lobbyists. Screw being climate activists. It's not working. We need an army of climate outlaws."

The proper channels have failed. It's time for mass civil disobedience to cut off the financial oxygen from denial and skepticism.

If you're one of those who believe that this is not just necessary but also possible, speak to us. Let's talk about what that mass civil disobedience is going to look like.

"cattle-prodding democratically-elected governments into submission"

Oh, you mean like spiking trees to kill loggers, burning down animal research facilities, ramming fishing vessels, impeding research in agriculture, and generally causing misery and death in underdeveloped countries? Stuff like that?

They should all be strung up by their heels, tarred, feathered - and lit...

Are you some sort of skeptic, Mike?

I am NOT a skeptic. I believe intelligent life exists SOMEWHERE in the universe.

If it gets them off the pedestrian mall in downtown Denver I'm all for it.

They are loons, but recklessly dangerous nevertheless. Late in the 80's we handled* one of their ships (mv Greenpeace) which was damaged by a Navy destroyer off the coast of Florida. Sadly, I think the Navy later paid them for the damages. They had videoed the antics of several of the Navy crewmen during the encounter, who apparently made rude gestures and graphic suggestions to the women aboard. Otherwise, I do not think they would have gotten a cent.

*They were a paying customer - quite important to us - and there was the curiosity factor. They were quite personable, but undeniably crazy about their cause. And they did have some attractive lasses onboard, something of a rarity back then.
