You need to keep in mind that only attacks against persons are violence and
only attacks that harm persons are terrorism. Have I got that right Tony?

. . .This heap of rotting vegetable matter looked more lovely to me than the
tallest spike of the bluest delphinium. Right then I realized that, like it
or not, I was an American gardener, likely to cultivate in the garden more
virtue than beauty.

Subject: Re: Thanks Tony and Jim - Property Attacks Justified
Several months ago, the tree Julia Butterfly stood on for two years was
chained saw. In response, Julia has wrote poetry of the attack on her
beloved tree. A few months thereafter, I remember reading that the largest
tree in Secaquah National Forest was chain sawed to death. Citizens who all
felt-- they "owned" the tree were devastated. Some people claim these
attacks
may have been done by disgruntled loggers who had their property destroyed.
I'm glad to hear that the attacks on property have been justified and are
good. Someone be sure to forward this along to Julia or the citizens of
Secaquah, I am sure they
will feel much better.
