When the windmills go up, tear em down.

Here is a precedent from 1974. The town of Montague actually elected this guy to the select board later on. That's how bad Mass is...

The Montague Nuclear Power Plant was to consist of two 1,150-megawatt nuclear reactors to be located in Montague, Massachusetts. The project was proposed in 1973 and canceled in 1980,[1] after $29 million was spent on the project.[2]

On 22 February 1974, Washington's Birthday, organic farmer Sam Lovejoy took a crowbar to the weather-monitoring tower which had been erected at the Montague site. Lovejoy felled 349 feet of the 550-foot tower and then took himself to the local police station, where he presented a statement in which he took full responsibility for the action. Lovejoy went on trial in September 1974 on charges of malicious destruction, but was acquitted on a technicality.[2][3] Lovejoy's action galvanized local public opinion against the plant.[2][3]

The entire idea behind popular elections is to prevent rule by force of arms. If you have a vote, you don’t win, yet you move ahead anyway, I would then expect violence to ensue. When it does, and it ends up in one of their courts, I’d also expect the perpetrators of that violence to prevail, given no other legal alternatives.

Sorry for the double/triple post: Some kind of browser problem I think.
