yeah, well there's this thing called 'insurance'...

besides, bombing chain stores (of which there are thousands) only classifies aanybody who dissents as an "ecoterrorist". If we want positive change, we're got to move beyond attempts at sabotage or protest. So much more is accomlished by working at the local organic farm or starting a Food Not Bombs because you're convincing people of your ideals, rather than just scaring them.

the difference between bombing a McD's and bombing a ski resort is that in the ski resort case, they actually delayed the destruction of the forest. In the case of McD's, however, you aren't really hurting the corporation or saving the rainforests, just building walls between the activist community and the rest of the world.
