Angry Little ELF

The Rocky Mountain News just reported:

WOODINVILLE, Wash. -- The radical environmental group responsible for the 1998 fires at Vail's Two Elks Lodge apparently has struck again -- in the form of fires at four multimillion-dollar show homes north of Seattle.

The sign -- a white sheet that had the initials of the Earth Liberation Front in scraggly red letters -- mocked claims the luxury homes on the "Street of Dreams" were environmentally friendly, according to video images of the sign aired by KING-TV.

"Built Green? Nope black!" the sign said.

The blazes are suspicious because they were set in multiple places in separate houses, said Chief Rick Eastman of Snohomish County District Seven. ...

No one was hurt in the arson at UW, but its Center for Urban Horticulture was destroyed and rebuilt at a cost of $7 million.

I just can't believe that ELF was responsible for these fires; think of all the air pollution!

Assuming a real connection, though, this shows that, ultimately, environmentalists are not interested in "green" production; they are interested in no production, for any production necessarily involves the use of natural resources.
