hm.. interesting
the activists were going about their business in a very ineffective way, but at the same time the FBI exercized police-state control. Nobody is right if everybody is wrong..
its amusing how some of us think it's right to track people for doing something ( not wrong or anything, just amusing )
. if I kill someone, am I forever a murderer, and so deserving of all opinions and decisions about murder? am i a worthless and evil animal if i had planned it beforehand, and made it gruesome? if i had done it quickly out of self defense, what then? it makes no difference- i could very well have taunted someone into attacking me in order to kill them.

I have to say, I admire these people, and the people who bomb abortion clinics.
I feel that if someone truely believes that abortion is murder, then they should be taking violent action against it. I don't see how anyone could believe that abortion really is murder of small children, and not take up arms against it.
If people were legally taking children out of day-care and bashing their heads in with hammers I would take up arms against them and destroy all the personal property I could.
Anyone who believes abortion is murder and does not bomb abortion clinics is a coward.

What would you do if you lived next door to a toddler incinerator?

I think the word "hypocrite" is an understatement in this case.

I suspect that most of these people don't really believe that abortion is murder.

I don't see abortion as murder in most cases...but that's beyond the scope of this thread so I won't say anything further.
Murdering someone because you don't like "murder"...well,I'll let you put two and two together...

"Murdering" a murderer in order to stop them from murdering innocent children isn't murder, it's defending the innocent.

You actually think putting a gun to somebody's head and blowing their brains out or bombing them to mounds of body parts is the same thing as performing an abortion?

No, I said that if you believe that, then you would have to be a coward not to take up arms against abortion clinics and doctors.

I do believe that it is murder. I believe it is the same as just shooting random kids on the street. If I thought it would actually help anything by bombing abortion clinics then I would be very tempted. I have actually thought about torching some buildings, but would that change anyones mind? Would that make any difference at all? I would say it would turn more people against my cause. Unlike these animal rights activists I realize this.

No. I don't think I could kill them (nor do I think I should), but I might (if it would end it) torch some buildings.

is it impossible that these activists (in this case, extremists) placed the trackers on their own cars to raise a ruckus?
i consider ALF to be a criminal organization. their activities go far beyond political protest. they're extremists who commit violent crimes to further their agenda. i don't think it would be below them (or above their capabilities) to pull off fake tracking devices.

It just alarmed me that activists anywhere at any time were being tracked without their knowledge. It makes me wonder where this could lead.
Yea, I agree that seems to be the real issue here.

I looked for a reference now, but couldn't find any. Maybe that was someone else I was thinking about. But I found this quote from Tim Leary:
Secrecy is the cause of 90% of human problems.
And among the Leary quotes I stumbled upon this one, apropos activists. Leary talks about Abbie Hoffman:
The thing I liked about Abbie was that he kept changing, taking risks, dropping acid, reprogramming his head. He became the ultimate contradiction -- a psychedelic socialist.

This reminds me of the Police state thread here recently. Very relevant.
-------------------- 'Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain and leave the Shroomery.' ~ Jim Morrison
