In case anybody is still curious, and doesn't already know... The guy who invaded the Discovery Channel building and took those hostages was indeed the environmental activist he was speculated to be. However, needless to say, environmental terrorist is a much better description. He wanted Discovery Channel to broadcast (On prime time slots) TV shows that would outline the problem of Human Overpopulation. A few days before the attack he posted his "Manifesto" online, in which he essentially called for the breakdown of Human Civilization. Here are a few of my favorite snippets:
"Focus must be given on how people can live WITHOUT giving birth to more filthy human children since those new additions continue pollution and are pollution. A game show format contest would be in order."
"Civilization must be exposed for the filth it is. That, and all its disgusting religious-cultural roots and greed. Broadcast this message until the pollution in the planet is reversed and the human population goes down! This is your obligation. If you think it isn't, then get hell off the planet! Breathe Oil! It is the moral obligation of everyone living otherwise what good are they??"
"Saving the Planet means saving what's left of the non-human Wildlife by decreasing the Human population. That means stopping the human race from breeding any more disgusting human babies!"
"Also, war must be halted. Not because it's morally wrong, but because of the catastrophic environmental damage modern weapons cause to other creatures."
"These are the demands and sayings of Lee. "

There's a permanent tension in music isn't there? On one hand you have three chords, you know, four four and three chords. Then there's the people like me, who say "Well, why don't we add a fourth chord and put it in five four?" - Bill Bruford
