Re: "I'm not 'blaming this on environmentalists.' However, you can't deny they have attempted at every turn to obstruct scientific forest management that pays for itself..." >>> Of course I can deny that, it's NOT TRUE. >>> Having the taxpayers subsidize forestry, grazing, and mining companies by charging less in user fees than the cost of services provided is A SUBSIDY, not Free Market Capitalism. Re: "The "fire cycle" isn't relevant in today's world with houses and infrastructure everywhere except in wilderness." >>> Of course it is! Mother Nature hasn't been replaced (although it'll take 50 years to undo the damaging density buildup that the last 100 years of wrong-headed policies have wrought in the Western States).
