Left Wing Nuts: Environmentalists apparently torched more than 40 houses under construction in Maryland in opposition to urban sprawl. This will do nothing to prevent the housing development from being completed. But the fires itself created all kinds of pollution. And it was also a waste of resources, culminating in the need to chop down more trees to rebuild the houses.

For some reason, ultra-liberal environmentalists have taken to torching things as a form of protest. Nonlethal terrorists, such as the Earth Liberation Front, have burned resorts and SUVs, causing many times more environmental damage than if they had decided to stay at home and do something productive.

Update: New evidence suggests this might not be the case in this particular incident.
