David, I think the question over forestry shows exactly how illogical the environmentalists really are. Even the upcoming U.N. summit on the environment (or has it passed already) mentioned that most of the world's deforestation happens in Africa and South America, NOT the United States.

Meanwhile, fire is destroying more American forests than logging can ever hope to destroy. And you know what some environmentalists say to this? "Fine, that's Mother Nature's way of clearing out old growth. Don't mess with it." No joke; I heard a guy featured on a radio talk show who said exactly this. Fortunately, some environmental groups aren't this illogical, but that's not going to stop the stubborn wackos who fear losing credibility over their pet issues.
