where is it that we cannot appropriately apply this name. It fits so well -willful destruction of anything of value without permission of the owner. Social security -check, banking system check, fracking check, Keystone pipeline check, retirement savings sysyem check, credit rating check, drilling in National parks and wilderness areas check, the fishing areas of the Gulf by BP check, the fertiloizer explosion in Texas check, the Mountain top removal of Coal in Kentucky check, the list goes on and on. Yep I think Garrison Keiller picked the right term.
