More on old growth and whaling and stuff you would not expect from a capitalist pig waiting on the opening bell: I think the key is thoughtful selection. There are much more healthy and efficient ways to harvest wood, than wholesale clearcutting. Too bad we can't convince the multinational lumber interests of that.

For one thing, we could grow hemp and leave the trees alone for a while!

As for the whales, what is going on in Baja is the real travesty, but as usual the media coverage is SILENT when it comes to the rich killing the whales. Where is the outcry over the Mitsubishi desalinazation(sp?) plant down in Mexico that is ruining the nesting habitat of the very whales that are now coming up to summer by Alaska? The whales that are being sacrificed for that plant are just being killed outright, and Mitsubishi sent all of us that protested form letters last year offering false assurances that "no harm will come to the whales, we are taking every precaution, blah, ad nauseaum". Yeah right.

They fund some so-called scientific study at a U.S. state university to rubberstamp their plans as harmless to the habitat, and then build away. Meanwhile the whales are lying dead on the beaches of Baja right now.

At least the Makah have the decency to eat their kill, and thereby put it to use...
