Neil asked:
Same deal. I'd rather it not be polluted in the first place. And how do I sue some one if there is no judicial system or government to enforce the decision. "Joe's International House of Justice" ?
Most EarthFirst! folks have figured out that you just have to forget about the government acting properly to protect Mother Earth. It takes direct, individual (or group) action to do it. Thus came about ELF - Earth Liberation Front -- and ALF, Animal Liberation Front. You probably recall some of their work -- Vail, for instance. My problem with them is that they try to not hurt humans, which is stupid. No, you don't sue -- you get a gun and/or a car bomb and kill some of the assholes. Kill the CEO of the polluting company. Park a car bomb outside the factory and detonate it in the midst of shift change. They'll get the message. And here's where crypto comes in -- read up on Jim Bell's Assassination Politics. People who don't like pollution can act anonymously and pay off the hit men. Sweet, savage, but sweet! Your neighbor pollutes your lungs or your land and you don't know what to do about it? Shit man, get real -- $5 bucks worth of gasoline and a midnight stroll takes care of his house, him, and his family.
