Terrorists bomb a sour gas pipeline in BC

[karrie]

taking risks with things like pipelines means putting other people's children in risk to try to protect your own, and in the end it's an unforgivable, hypocritical act.

If you want to argue the parallels, the things you hate the government doing, the acts of war you despise, they are no less forgivable in your world, so why is the 'eye for an eye' okay?

Push, be loud, threaten... I can understand that. But to actually go to these lengths IS too far, too risky, and not something that deserves applause.

You don't know that. Your making assumptions.

If people are getting sick and having to sell their farms (see above link) then how much risk is acceptable? Quite a bit I would think.

Perhaps the community knows about it? Perhaps every possible care is being taken to prevent injury? Perhaps some injury is acceptable in this battle.

I don't know all the details and I don't think you do either.

But I can't and won't condemn an act just because someone has decided to call it an act of terror. Calling things "terror" is too powerful a weapon in the corporate and moneyed elites arsenal and we must be careful when it is used.

I only said I applaud it if it is being done for certain reasons. It may very well be a despicable act. The fact is neither of us knows for sure and therefore, I personally can't condemn it.
