Default Kayakers as Terrorists

Ever since 9/11 people seem to have forgotten that not all terrorists are
Arabic or part of Al-Qaida. There are still environmental nuts that like to
blow things up, burn things down, or chain themselves to bull dozers. And,
their Americans. Gasp.


[ Shouldn't that be "they're Americans. Gasp." ]

What "environmental nuts" do you know about who have blown things up
or burned things down? I haven't heard of that.

Maybe you're thinking of Boy Scouts, who have been known to burn down
entire forests. Are you saying Boy Scouts are all terrorists?

Sitting in a tree, trying to prevent it from being cut down, does not
seem like terrorism to me. Nobody is harmed except lumber company
executives who get lower profit by not harvesting so much cellulose.
But it's not like anybody is getting killed, as in the WTC.

Chaining yourself to a bull dozer, same deal. Some Earth First'ers
have reputedly put sugar in gas tanks, causing property damage, but
does that really constitute terrorism? Vandalism, sure. Tree spiking
was perhaps done a few times, but few incidents are documented.

Please define terrorist.
