In 2001, Jeff “Free” Luers received a 22-year prison sentence for setting fire to three SUV’s at a Eugene, Oregon dealership, in order to make a statement about global warming. He was only five years ahead of Al Gore. No one was harmed by Luers' monkey-wrenching, and the SUVs were later resold. Nonetheless, Jeff Luers is still not “Free.” He languishes in an Oregon prison while murderers, child molesters and armed robbers serve shorter sentences than he has already served. His case finally received a ruling from the Oregon Court of Appeals on Valentine’s Day of this year. The judge ruled that Luers had been improperly sentenced, and that his case be remanded back to the Circuit Court for resentencing. Though this is good news, “Free” still needs help, for legal fees and for expenses once he is released, until he can get himself properly situated back in the world.

Meanwhile, back in the perfectly sane reality of Bush's America, SUV owners are freaking out over rising gasoline prices (but not global warming!). Unable to make theircar payments, they have begun to do a little monkey wrenching of their own. That is, arson-for-hire rings are being paid to torch their SUVs, in order for the owners to collect their insurance payments.

Good old American ingenuity! Something tells me that the perps of this 'eco terror' scam will not be getting 22-year prison sentences for insurance fraud.
