Recently, the following was posted to Indymedia. It started an interesting discussion, and different points of view were given an airing, but then got off the subject with an argument about the Wombles.

(The thread was number 23041 on the 19th February)

"There is just no getting round it, Earth First! is dead, really dead. If the best they can do is to sit around trying to defend some stone circle from quarrying in Derbyshire, while green field sites all up and down England are being built on with housing estates, shopping malls and industrial estates, but they do nothing at all about this then they are not really into defending the earth as such but on some totally irrelevant pagan ego trip, then it is high time this bunch of sad sickos packed it all in."

I don't think any of the comment really refuted the main point here, that Earth First as a movement has gone off into sheer displacement activity. Does anybody else out there agree?
