Ted, Why do you think that the Sierra Club among many are proponents for saving as many of the old growth forests as possible? I guess you are more familiar with their positions. Maybe you can tell me. There are ways to be for environmental conservation and not be a fool, but I have a feeling that the Siera Club gang may be a bit over the line. Just as an aside: how long ago was the Valdez spill? Forget about the effected environment, its all screwed up? The Alaskan community that was most effected still has not come back economically.....and no one can predict when it will. I don't know how long ago it was, but apparently the environment in the area is making a remarkable comeback. I don't know about the economy in the area, but the $5 billion cash has a miraculous effect of healing wounds. Anyway, as far as the environment goes, what really hurts is the constant inflow pollutants, like leaks of harmful chemicals to rivers. The one time events like Exxon Valdes are way overblown. It makes for more entertaining and alarmist news, and it will raise more money to Sierra Club than a town or a factory releasing pollutants to rivers or the air constantly. Joe
