I suggest Mr. Wong read Mary H. O'Brien ``Being a scientist means taking
sides'' in BioScience vol 43 no. 10 pp 706-708. She begins ``Once you
are a scientist, which means as soon as you systematically ask questions
about the universe, you take a political side.''

May I remind you that any discussion about forestry, reforestation,
reseach are political and therefore take positions on policy matters.

If you have nothing nice to say, don't let that stop you from saying it.
