Tree Huggers vs Vicksburg National(Civil War) Military Park

[WKB]

Rom. 1:18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness,
19since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.
20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

Lead the environuts on a "fact-finding" tour of the area to teach them about the Vicksburg campaign.......wade them through every snake-infested backswamp, yazoo, cypress swamp, and mud-wallow in four counties on both sides of the river. Let them rediscover the joys of cutting a path like Sherman did through the swamps on the west bank.

That'll shut them up.

lol ... a month "communing with nature" in holes and cavelets cut into the loess on the hillside would take some of the starch out of them.

And see my suggestion above. "Oh, look -- a mockingbird! [Mind the cottonmouths...]"

Done. Deo Vindice!

Likely due to my location, I can’t load the page. (I’m on government lines in Iraq)

Give ‘em hell for me!

When I was in law enforcement in the 60’s I talked to a chief of a small town with a total of two policemen on his force him and one more. He had a demonstration in his town one day and it broke up fast, he said he shot into the air two shots and it took a week to get them our of the woods.

we could have them resubmerge in the USS Cairo up the Yazoo...

I have actually seen cottonmouths swim up out of the Mississippi on the Louisiana side near old Port Hudson where we owned a camp.

That concept gained traction in court until someone pointed out that everyone in the surrounding area knew that it had been timbered no less than 4 times in the last century.”

Depending on the species of tree that was timbered, the average life span of a Douglas Fir, for example, is about 30 years to maturity and maximum use. After age of 30, Douglas Fir AGES very quickly, and is not worth much as a building material after 33 yrs of age. I have a friend who owns timerland in Kalifornia. He has been totally stymied in “harvesting his crop” by all the state and federal anti-timbering rules. He has the records of the various years production all the way back to the middle 1800’s when his Great-great Grandfather homesteaded his first parcel of land.
The idea of “virgin trees” also was floated around Nevada County, Kalifornia. All the new yuppies in their Birkenstocks are coming up from San Francisco area and acting like ALL the pine trees there are just HUNDREDS of years old. I loved taking them to the older restaurants that had pics of the area in the gold mining days. The trees were cut down everywhere to put TIMBERS inside mines (gee-wonder why they are called TIMBERS?) and to build housing for the thousands of miners who flocked to the area after gold was discovered at Sutter’s Mill.
The aged trees cannot withstand pests and are fast fodder for bark beetles and forest fires.
Nothing like a person who makes their living using lots of PAPER telling the guy who grows the tree where the paper comes from how to make a living.......

a massive effort to restore the battlefield to its 1863 appearance

A lot of those trees are witness trees. They were planted at Gettysburg reunions by the survivors of the battle. Although I hate to cut them down for that reason, I'd rather see the fields as they saw them. Just like the observation tower.

"Vicksburg National Military Park"

Isn't that different from a National Park?

Whatever you do, don't let anyone who has "planning" and "environment" in their title have anything to do with it!

Should there be some water moccasins there, let's make that a surprise. ;o)

[dixiechick2000]

"a national MILITARY park"

Whew!

I was right...there is a difference.

Given this, and the amnesty bill, do you 'spose they are trying to restart 1860?
I say that tongue in cheek, but it sure seems like it sometimes.
