Come on, even you have got to admit clear-cutting an old growth forest to clean up one individual's junk bond debt from a failed savings and loan is a bad idea long term! I have a bit of a problem with this statement, Lizzie, and perhaps you can help me out. First of all, what were the other alternatives available to the person with the junk bond debt? I don't know so I'm counting on you telling me. Secondly, while I would certainly hate to see something of such long origins disappear (as it was also suggested by another), to what extent do individuals have a right to tell another what he or she can or can't do with a piece of property? Do those doing the telling also help with the maintenance of property taxes and so forth? I feel if there are those who are so opposed to what an individual chooses to do with a piece of land which the landowner also must pay property taxes on, then those individuals can induce the property owner to sell the land to them at fair market value plus premium if necessary.
