Well, this certainly won't help legitimate environmentalists. Thanks, ELF! I
was particularly interested in the following quote from the article . . .

"In one of its latest efforts, the ELF claims to have set a Feb. 20 pre-dawn
fire at a cotton gin near Visalia that caused $700,000 in damage. The group
claimed it targeted the plant
because it contained genetically engineered cotton seeds."

I actually live about 25 miles from where this took place, and as a resident of
the county that currently has the worst air quality in the United States, I
don't appreciate these "environmentalists" filling the air with even more
pollution. Irony is too mild a word for this one.
