Assuming it's him, it will be interesting to hear his political motivation, and discover what end of the spectrum he supports.
I myself suspect we're seeing an alarming rise in left-wing violence. But I could be wrong.

Well, the guy probably *is* a left-winger. From what I've heard about this, he was against the Bush-government, which is right-wing after all. But I've heard also speculation that extreme-right might be behind these actions.
About the connection between Fortuyn and the 'eco-terrorist': Fortuyn was known to be sceptical about a variety of environmental issues. He said we wasn't worried about about pollution, global warming etc.

His rambling letter is reminiscent of some ultra-left-wingers I knew (present company not exactly included.) That's why I presupposed it.
It is also strongly reminiscent of some idiot anarchists I knew. Anarchy tends to be espoused as a workable system by people whose beliefs actually tend more towards leftism than rightism, almost as much as Communism is espoused by those same people, once they figure out what really happens in anarchy.

This coming from Mr. The Government Is Evil and must exercise no control over the individual?
There are two rather distinct brands of anarchism: The throwing rocks at Starbucks sort from Seattle, and the shooting police officers kind from Montana.

That duality seems to me to be a bit of a disservice to the philosophy of anarchism which is, I suspect, a bit more complex than that.

Besides, we all know that the good old American way to protest is to create very boring threads on the internet and then ignore people who have opposing viewpoints in said threads.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I love you. You're so funny.
I've never, EVER said that. I have never called government worse than a necessary evil (certain PEOPLE who govern, that's a different story.) Nor will I. Your extremist position naturally forces you to believe that because I take an opposing position, mine must necessarily be as extreme as yours.
If you want my opinion in a little sound-bite form, here you go:
"A little government, a little faith, and a little luck are all needed to survive. But only a fool puts all his trust in any of them."

You hear that those people over there are blaming the Liberal Media for Fortyn's death?

The liberal media? Yeah.. you know who else had a hand in this? The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this. I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians and the American Civil Liberties Union. I point the finger and say 'you helped this happen.'

But... you know.. if I were an evil Eco Terrorist... I would've killed someone a bit more involved with bio-industry. Fortuyn wasn't even very interested in the environmental issues. His party was even working on some pro-environment things (I don't recall what).
