Oh I absolutely do. You see trees grow back. There is nothing wrong with harvesting a forest as there is nothing wrong with harvesting corn. My point is you're the hyprocrite, not me.

Structural lumber used in frame houses is from softwoods - like fir and pine. Hardwoods are for furniture, cabinets, stuff like that.

And there is nothing at all wrong with harvesting woods from national forests.

PS the "old growth forests" you may have in mind are not hardwood.

You should be careful throwing around the term simpleton. I don't think you know much about what you're talking about.

The difference between hardwoods and softwoods is that hardwood comes from deciduous trees and softwoods come from coniferous hemlock, firs and pines. Softwoods are used very much in construction in the southeast and northwest.
