Foie Gras Flap Leads to Vandalism
Sonoma Police Chief John Gurney, who described the attacks as a "sophisticated campaign of domestic terrorism," said: "They're trying to impose their beliefs on others through the use of force, fear and intimidation."
Ask him why he carries a gun. While I don't agree with their methods in all cases it seems to me that they're not telling people what to do, but rather telling others to stop doing it to them. The reality is that the domestic activist movement has only made progress when resorting to violence and destruction. Look at the womens rights movement, 60's civil rights movement, conservation movements in the 60's and 70's. Anything less and the powers that be choose $$$$ over anything else. It's the nature of the beast who goes for these sorts of positions of 'authority'. A perfect example of why greed is -not- good and 'power' should never be placed in one 'authority'. -- -- ravage@ssz.com jchoate@open-forge.com www.ssz.com www.open-forge.com
