Actually Patrick, as a carpenter for over 14 years, I've build many things, over 90% of them from wood. But now I've joined the ranks of thousands of other workers who used to make their livings from wood products. You see, we finally realized that the emperor really isn't wearing any clothes, and that the appearance of careful management is really only the careful management of appearances. Oh, you may hide behind "view corridors" and "forest science," but the best evidence of our failure to manage our forests can be from airplanes or via sattellite images--funny how little of those dark green patches are left anymore. > I have lots of criticisms of the way in which > the Forest Service is structured etc. but surely you must accept the fact > that roads are necessary to do any kind of forestry. Well, now that you mention it, there is helicopter logging, horse logging, etc. Now that we've built several million miles of logging roads, what say we leave the few remaining roadless areas alone, eh? > In conclusion, Mr.?

Kindly tell me how I would (wood) die without wood products!!!??? "Only when the well is dry do we know the worth of water." (Ben Franklin) B. Diamond
