C.horn, I am against the irresponsible destruction of forest lands worldwide. I do think that the logging companies in the US are generally responsible and can understand the necessity for replanting, etc. Worldwide is another story. Those farmers clearing the land in other areas are often poor and uneducated; you can read that like this: high birth rate with the inability to provide for their children.

Now listen here, c.horn! (giving you a little shake) Go back and reread what I posted before you start to berate me, all right? III did not say that the major U.S. paper companies are logging irresponsibly--in fact, I am one of the last people in the world likely to say such a thing. The laid-off people are casualties not of paper companies but of U.S. Forest Service policies, whose change was--for political reasons using the spotted owl and other species as their banner--horrifically abrupt. Nowhere have I ever said that I supported the fashion in which this occurred. These people worked for companies that depended on auctions for cutting rights on public lands under the aegis of the Forest Service for their wood supply, not owning or having a sufficient supply of fee timber.
