You think 2nd, 3rd of 4th generations forests are in anyway comparable to the original which took millions of years to create? You should wake up. One of the great tragedies of America was the collosal rape, waste and de-forestation of our original natural wonders. Thank God Teddy Roosevelt (a former exploiter himself) finally had the vision to start protecting and conserving. But so much damage was done and now we have precious little left. So little. OK, maybe in Alaska no nowhere else. Even in the Rockies now it's hard to find real wilderness. You have to go where their bulldozers can't tread. And even that is under dire threat now from the likes of Bush-Cheney and crew. You can have your orderly sprout forests, paved over meadows, sterile lakes and rivers, sulfuric air. Give me the wonders of the great old trees of life, communities which protect their natural beauties zealously and waters which you can actually drink. You can build your house of something else too. Leave the remaining old trees alone. Those days are gone, and you know why? Because our forefathers and some even now were too greedy too fast and wasted too much never knowing how future generations would judge them? And then they blame us for criticizing them. Apparently you are one of the last of those who believe that nature is there for our devastation and profit. Your type will go extinct quickly as your kind will make sure that soon there is nothing left to profit from but artificial genetically-designed replacements, museums of nature and memories of what once was. Go to a wild place, sit down and breathe. And ask youself what price you put on your surroundings?
In fact, they are priceless. But once destroyed they are worth nothing.
