I wasn’t much interested in all of the hullabaloo about the government spying on our phone calls, emails, etc., until I read this article about how the definition of “eco terrorist” is being stretched to include peaceful protests. If a “tree hugger” or “tree sitter” is a terrorist, then those of us who are members of any environmental or conservation group might also be labeled terrorists, too. I know there have been some people who have gone to extremes, like destroying the property of a company doing business that harms the environment or that tortures animals, and maybe those illegal acts can be stretched to fit the definition of “terrorism.” But even that is a stretch.<\/p>\n
If all the protesters along the route of the Keystone pipeline are arrested, charged, convicted and jailed, what do we do?\u00a0 I’m thinking of those civil rights activists in the 50’s and 60’s who just kept filling in the places of the ones arrested, until the police didn’t have any more jail space. Do we have to do that?\u00a0 And would we?<\/p>\n
And what about those of us who write articles and letters to newspapers criticizing the polluters?\u00a0Are we a “danger” to the security of our nation?\u00a0This past Tuesday evening, several dozen citizens spoke at a public hearing in Union, Mo., testifying under oath and for the record that we don’t trust Ameren Missouri to build a coal ash landfill in the Missouri River floodplain at Labadie. Some of us even hinted that Ameren bribes the decision makers with campaign contributions and by wining and dining them at parties when the American Legislative Exchange Council meets at fancy resorts. Since Ameren provides an essential product and service, does that make us subversive?\u00a0Our faces are now in the video record, and our testimony transcribed by a court reporter. It would be incredibly easy for someone who wanted to intimidate us to find out where we live, get into our electronic devices, and do some real damage.<\/p>\n
