This is not fair or You have your switch up To All Amazoners he puts his switch down Don't listen to people who quote from the SEC numbers, they are likely making it up. I will just tell you a story, one about Indians. ** Off Topic to everyone ** When I was a younger man I worked as a surveyor in the oil exploration industry. Not being truly qualified to survey, I worked in an area of the industry where precision didn't matter, accuracy did however. One thing we had to do was survey, and supervise the cutting of lines. A line is very similar to a road, only it is temporary, you never do put asphalt on them, in fact, "today's" regulations require roll-back. Lines usually go straight and cats are used to knock down the timber and roll out a road, the geophysicist decides where he wants to go. Now, there are places a cat cannot go, it is regulation mostly. Erosion regulations prevent cats from proceeding directly over river banks and down. They must turn before the top of the bank and make a temporary sloped road that does not go straight down. The lines however do go straight. A hand-cut must be made directly down the riverbank, valley or obstruction, it must run straight. It is usually cut by men with chain saws, which brings us to the Indians of my past. We had to hire people who followed the cats around with chainsaws. They would "buck" lines to make sure slash decomposed. We hired Indians because they were very familiar with the country they lived in and around and worked very well in the wilderness. It was not long before we noticed something. They removed a constant stream of goods, while earning their $22.00/hr working for us. Let me explain, the cats, and the cut-line, provided access to previously inaccessible country. The Indians of my past, collected various products, and processed them for sale (birch rounds for the decoupage industry, various dried plants for the floral industry, labrador tea etc... They also trapped small animals) In fact, it was a thriving cottage industry that they handled side by side with their work, incredible. And it was all thanks to us, and our cats, opening up new roads. Amazing. Apparently Rickets* can be cured by sunlight, who would have thought of that, sounds stupid. Oranges sounds better.*
