I think it is extremely ironic how Beth responded to the suggestion that bombings or threats against abortion clinics are exempt from acts of "terrorism". A further definition of terrorism includes: "...only those acts which are intended to create fear..." and so on.

I have great concern for the environment, the humane treatment of animals and the health of a global community.

What about the corporations, already exempt from laws that individuals have to abide by? Government is set up to protect those corporations first and above all.... for profit... and at no cost...even if it means taking human lives or animal lives.

While I don't believe in, or support destruction to public or private property, I do believe in evolution. And part of evolution is change. After all, it was us as Americans that considered women and people of color to be second class citizens just less than one hundred years ago.

What about corporate criminals who destroy American's lives by sabotage ( stealing their retirements or investments by misleading, lying or covering up their scandals)?

Terrorism appears to be an opinion here... and a strong one.

I call our war in Iraq (and perhaps soon to be, in Iran) as occupation and therefore, terrorism.
