Well Del, since you like to throw people's names around. I guess your just quoting "Jane Fonda" or something. The end of the earth is near! The end of the earth is near! The tree's are gone! The tree's are gone! I once posed this question to one of those radical left wing earth first members up in Forks Washington one time. A few lumberman had been recently been badly injured from cutting a tree and hitting one of those wonderful earth first spikes. So I asked them, who's life would you rather save, the lumberman's life or the tree's? I couldn't believe it when the three of them looked me straight in the eye and said the tree's! Which would you have said Del?? Michael

Del, you care so much about the generation's to come your willing to saddle them with a few hundred more billion dollars of debt, throwing it away at world body organizations which do nothing but line their own pockets instead of clean up anything. The reality of how the money is spent doesn't matter to you. As long as you feeeeel good doing it. Maybe it doesn't bother you to leave our children billions upon billions of dollars of debt, but it does me. But hey? Your comfortable now. You won't have to pay the 80% tax rate our children will. Neither will your hero Jane Fonda. Michael

Ya'know, there probably are more trees today than a hundred years ago. But the quality of these trees is poor. Think on all those twenty-year-old front lawn pines, and the struggling sidewalk maples. Tree; yup, checkmark. I wonder how many more (or less) three-hundred-year-old trees there are today vs. a century ago. Or howzabout: I wonder how the total poundage of heartwood (in the tree, not the deck) today compares to 1898. I really look forward to vat-grown four-by-eights. A hundred years hence, they'll be cheap and good. Environmentally, I take hope that we're headed through the eye of the needle for, say, the next fifty years. Too bad that'll be Helen's fight.
