OK, I'll bite.  What is Earth First! about? (Besides abusing
punctuation marks).   The two ideas I associate the organization
with are:

1.  proposing that the entire state of Ohio be abandoned so that it can

2. spiking trees.

I honestly can't remember if the bozos who botched the "attack"
on the Arizona nuclear power station where EF! folks or not.
