Finally...Enviromentalists that I agree with

Early this morning, Enviromental Terrorists in Seattle set fire to three newly designed luxury homes. The terrorists were apparently upset over the fact that these newly designed homes were not enviromentally friendly. On a sign written in spray paint (the universal writing utensil of terrorists), the initials ELF were written. Most suspect it to be the work of the Enviromental Liberation Front, but one should not jump to logical conclusions so quickly; at least not before reading this blog.

The newly built houses, were not yet occupied by the tenants. The street itself was named "the street of dreams". This might remind some of an earlier post on Kevin Costner and the movie 'field of Dreams'; but so far it does not look like Costner is behind this particular assault of America. Each home cost over a million dollars and included some of the most technologically efficient ways of energization. Then why would eco terrorists destroy enviromentally friendly homes? Apparently, they were upset over the endangerment of chinook salmons in the nearby streams.

In other enviromental news, today at the university of Victoria, we were privileged to have the world renound David Suzuki give a free speech. He likely talked about pressing issues facing the current state of the enviroment. It is likely that none of these issues will make it beyond the world renound newspaper of the University of Victoria. However, the enviromental terrorists will likely be in newspapers across the country tomorow. The terrorists means of obtaining media attention are far more radical than that of the elderly Japanese Suzuki (the most radical thing he has done all day is use his cane to get to his enviromentally friendly rice cooker).

The problem I have with David Suzuki, is that he claims that the enviroment is growing rapidly worse every day. He takes the "Day After Tomorow Hypothesis", that things will get out of hand very quickly if we don't act immediately. If this is truly the case, then why is
Suzuki kindly lecturing at Universities and hosting a TV show for viewers of all ages on public network television? If it is true that the enviroment needs radical change today, then shouldn't his means of distributing this information be equally as radical?

Obviously the eco-terrorists that are burning down houses are afflicted with David Suzuki Syndrome. Constantly losing sleep over the torrential terror that awaits us on "the day after tomorow." Unlike Suzuki, they are acting radically to get radical change, which they believe is needed. If you want radical change you must act radically. Suzuki has it all wrong. His quiet, kind and laid-back manner make it seem that we can wait a few days before we implement change, even if he is preaching the opposite.

My prescription for David Suzuki: either tone down your message of impending doom, or join the ELF.
