		<description>&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m all for saving the environment.....but in the case of I-69....cut the damn trees down, pave the corn and soybean fields! I want I-69, and would thoroughly enjoy a quicker driver to IU and Indy. So please, cut the trees down, blame me, I&#039;ll give you a dollar in compensation. But I&#039;ll be getting to Indy quicker. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hey, weren&#039;t those people arrested driving a beat up old truck?? Isn&#039;t that like anti-environment? An old, beat up truck spewing out black exhaust? We have all seen them. So the tree-huggers are polluters! 
Gotcha.
You&#039;ve been caught! :)&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;This is ridiculous. I&#039;m personally ambivalent to I-69. I can see both sides but just don&#039;t care. But what I&#039;m wondering is how these protesters can just up and have a little sit in some trees. I would love to protest for some causes I believe in but that thing called a job tends to interfere with that as I have to be at work every day. I&#039;m wondering if these so called tree huggers have jobs themselves. If not, maybe they should get some.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;a.supporter do you even live here? What is your major malfunction? What a loser. You are just babbling leftist propaganda.  If everyone does not follow you stupid view we are wrong. I&#039;m a Hoosier and I want this road. Just like the I-64 has benefited Southern Indiana. US 41 is a very old road and can&#039;t be updated to any type safety standards as a new Interstate can. There is just so long you keep repaving a dead horse. Its (US 41)still a dead and unsafe road. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My suggestion to you and your little leftist party is to move to Mexico or even further south so we don&#039;t have to smell you in Southern Indiana. You sound like you want to blame America for all of the World troubles. So just shut up, pack up and &quot;LEAVE&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These people are so lost. They don&#039;t live in the area. Now they are acting as if they are terrorists. Damaging other peoples property and trying to intimidate others. Wish I had just one of those hippie looking tree huggers I&#039;d show them a little Southern Indiana Justice.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;What the tree-sitters did was stand up to a government run by large multi-national corporations and unresponsive to the demands of its citizens.  By INDOT&#039;s own numbers 74% of public comments were against I-69.  By independent surveys the numbers are closer to 95%.  Petitions have been signed by well over 150,000 hoosiers to stop the road.  No one wants to see $4 billion spent on a road that will save 8-10 minutes except the corporations who stand to earn that $4 billion in construction contracts and decreased costs of importing commodities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The tree-sitters put their bodies on the line and said &quot;if you want to build this undemocratic road, you must physically remove me first.&quot;  That the people in the trees were from outside of Indiana speaks to the global nature of this road.  It&#039;s the NAFTA superhighway and it&#039;s construction will have far-reaching effects throughout the hemisphere.  It will mean a loss of manufacturing jobs in Indiana, an increase in sweatshops in Mexico, and increases in mineral/resource extraction from communal indigenous lands in central and south america.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If all your information about the sitters or their motivations is coming from the courier press or fox 7 of course your views are skewed.  Those media outlets, owned by giant corporate conglomerates, have been advocating the road for years.  Visit stopi69.wordpress.com (click on resources and read the Collectivo Incendio article) or myspace.com/stopi69 for more information.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Sorry, but you completely lost me when you toss in the illegal drugs, aliens and terrorism argument.  That is the biggest logical fallacy I&#039;ve heard all week.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We may as well build that giant wall around our borders to keep everyone out.  Sigh.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;And one more thing, I-69 is a National Interstate system that will connect Canada to Mexico, bringing more illegal drugs, illegal aliens, and possibly even terrorists threw our communities. I think the NAFTA interstate Highway (I-69) will destroy communities along the way, cutting some rural counties in half, increasing emergency response times to accidents.
Thats why some of the protesters are from out of State, because this Interstate will hurt everyone in some way.&lt;/p&gt;
