ManyMoose; Interesting reply. You spent a lot of time and effort explaining your position and I respect that. However in all the rambling about good forest practices - you missed the most important point I was trying to make. That is; in a capitalistic economy, why must the timber companies have to rely on below cost timber sales? Why do you expect me to pay taxes to the government to subsidize profit for your industry? It is corporate socialism! As to your comments on the people living in trees? How many people do you know that sit in trees? In my area of the world where we had tremendous battle between hunters and fisherman and outdoors people who realized the insanity of unsustainable logging practices and who all came together, I never saw or heard of one single instance of a person in a tree. In typical fashion of the far right, you have taken an extremely isolated event and tried to stereotype all of the people who do not agree with your position. Most people don't sit in trees and most people do not want to pay for timber company profits. After the improvements of the NW Forest Plan, we could likely agree on most of your good forest practices - but don't ask me to pay for them! steve
