Rofl. That's not what i said. It's what you said i said. There is a huge difference. The exchange starts here - #reply-8842410 - and ends, i think, here - #reply-8874422 ... in between you invent completely different meaning to my words and jump to wild conclusions using your inventions as premises. I just went all the way through it again, and still see no basis in logic for your assumptions. Perhaps i should review my own tendency to default to an assumption of sanity in other posters. For all you know, chaparro, i am a gorgeous left-handed fifty-two-year-old black woman violinist raised by Mandarin-speaking wolves in Finland. A friend of mine is a twelve-foot chicken from another planet. Work that into your theories. Lolol. Yes, i have a home where Lotusland meets the saltchuck and another at seventeen degrees of latitude. For all you know so do Elvis and the Pope. It's true, though, that based on all i've seen to date i support Winspear in the dispute with Aber, I don't think they treated wsp very well ... but 'shoot down abz' - that's a big leap. I made one or two posts, then you went off your nut. I've held abz since, and have roughly half the time for the last year and a half, though not now. Got stopped out of the Azteca long ago ... man, did you ever miss the point on that one. This is a great country and i love it, though i could live without certain of its mouthbreathers lunging at my ankles on the internet. But in the last ten or fifteen years the Politically Correct Winds of Change have been a hurricane for those of us in resource industries who have to deal with governmental land use decisions. Particularly in certain provinces. It really does take a wheelbarrow - and a sturdy one - to pack around the BC Forest Practices Code with all amendments and interpretations and associated bumpf. Joke for ya - #reply-10802561 - there's many a truth told in jest. I am essentially a farmer. You can't comprehend this from the ivory tower in which you have your janitor job, but i do care about soil/water/air quality, my living depends on its maintenance and my interest has always been in its improvement. I am a planter of trees in the overgrazed potreros of the cattle country of Chiapas, and am known locally here for the quality of my long-term stewardship of certain lands. Two friends really got a hoot from your abz posts, btw. Extensive tedious bureaucracy and incredibly expensive paper-shuffling does not quality stewardship make. This is my point, as anyone with moderate reading comprehension could tell. It is a valid point. Canada, in my own experience, falls in this respect behind other jurisdictions. Look at what Aber is going through. In Sierra Leone they whack off your arm with a machete, in Canada they chew off your wallet with bureaucrats. Well i guess if those were the only two choices i would prefer to lose my wallet ... but they are not the only choices. It is a big planet, chaparrito. Winspear will be going through this before long. It may be easier for wsp since they'll have less opencast and more underground, and because Diamet and Aber will have gone before, but it will still be a long hard expensive bureaucratic road. Longer and harder and more expensive than it should be, imho. Another of your false accusations is that i have supported one 'side' or the other in your own mind's media-induced fantasy version of chiapaneco events. I have not. I have pointed out that 1. there is more than one 'side' to it, much more .. 2. there's precious little black and white to the situation, just endless shades of grey which change constantly depending on who you're talking to and which side of the hill you're on ... 3. you know dick about it ... 4. if you really want to learn about it, go there with little money, put your feet on the ground for at least months, move around, and for your own sake don't spout this abusive nonsense face-to-face, everybody's got a machete there. "Now marcos can report me " - marcos only ever reports spammers and makers of physical threats ... never juvenile ranters playing with the UofA's computers .... them he laughs at ... relax ... and do have a nice day. Lolol.
