I can't argue with that. I've just found that contentious issues are best resolved when everyone has a say. When I was active as a District Ranger's staff, we confronted the smoking issue successfully because the smokers were able to contribute tot he decision. Same with other and bigger issues out in the woods. For example, our policy was trying to respond to the need to retain more dead trees and snags after logging because they are an important component of the ecosystem, as habitat for insects and the birds and critters that feed on them. The problem was, those dead trees and snags were dangerous to the loggers, and they couldn't work around them with high speed cables yarding the logs up to the logging. We invited the loggers to give their opinion, and went out to the ground with them to look at the situation they had to face every day. They came up with a plan to concentrate the snags and dead trees that we retained at the lower end of the logging unit, or along the sides, where there would be minimal conflict with the cables that were yarding the logs up. We still lost a logger a year or two later. Fortunately, I was away that day and did not have to pack him out of the woods.
