Well I guess I am not that surprised that nobody seems to want to analyze
the ethics of ELF or ALF. They terrorized a family, in much the same way
a home invasion would terrorize a neighborhood. So far the responses have
skirted this issue. Guess what Ray, your dwelling (just as John Foster's)
damages the environment. Was your house *always* there? Is it part of
the natural environment? Do you have electricity, running water, cable
television. Think of all that damage. I think the word we are looking
for here is hypocirsy.
Frankly the responses have been pretty much of a singular nature.
Pathetic. Sure Vince Scott and his family may have not considered the
environmental impact of their dream home (or maybe they did, the article
does point out the mainstream environmentalist had little worries about
the development), but does that justify burning it down and scaring his
children? And that cryptic threat at the end of the story indicates that
these guys are nothing but thugs.

Well I guess a moral and ethical person can burn down another's house.
