Or force him to work in a papermill where he'll see the senseless destruction of mother nature herself. Maybe throw a tickertape parade for the football team...having the tickertape composed of shredded Sierra Club and Greenpeace membership cards and have him at the tail of the parade, broom in hand. I'm sure the swell folks there will find something for him.

If scratching an "X" into a Hummer will get you a year in jail, what could burning down a house get you? Again, this assumes that eco-terrorists use logic, which I don't think they do many times. Paul,
