Dear HCN,
It was a pleasure to read
in the Nov. 9 issue the letter by Michael E. Adams supporting the
arson at Vail. This man and every member of the Earth Liberation
Front should be canonized for their visionary efforts in advancing
the environmental cause. I only regret that someone wasn’t killed
in the burning lodge or that the surrounding forest didn’t catch
fire. Just think of how badly those filthy rich bastards would be
hurting then.
The courage it must take to embrace
violence for the sake of one’s principles. Imagine the strength of
character! Although I still have a long way to go, Mr. Adams has
brought me one step closer to his level of enlightenment. My dream
is to bomb an abortion clinic someday. Maybe someday I’ll get the
guts to round up some buddies and beat a homosexual to
death.
All these years, I’d been thinking that we
environmentalists should behave differently from the likes of Don
Young and Saddam Hussein. Now I am liberated. Thank you, Mr. Adams,
for showing me the error of my
ways.
