Ah, so. Well, like I said, I'm no repository of environmental information, but it seems to me that I heard/read that forests need to be harvested (or at least thinned out) for the health of the whole system to be optimal. I 'member a storm that came through east Texas and knocked down a dooload of pine trees, and the ecoterrorists raised hell over the lumber companies wanting to "harvest" the fallen timber. That particular issue went back and forth for quite some time, until somebody pointed out that the wood was going to rot if they didn't hurry up and get it out of there--and the additional fuel for fires--I believe they finally did allow the harvest to take place, but I never understood the argument against logging. Trees DO grow back...it's just not an exciting spectator sport. Now, chopping the tree down in which that sociopath Butterfly girl was roosting in...that would've been exciting.

The Japs,Koreans, Russians etc raped the seas! The japs streched nets miles long and harvested everything they could so point the fingers at them not the American fishermen who had restrictions on them for many many years. I fished in Alaska in the early 50's and I remember the restrictions we had then.

"Then they'll burn it to take it off the market permanently"
Yeah, that to. But first they will burn it to drive out any private ownership.

You mean that you got tired of hook-fishing while those huge trawlers and long-liners were taking it ALL? Makes you feel really warm and fuzzy about the State Department, doesn't it?

Okay, I can't read it all now, but I bookmarked your link and will pursue it manana. I do like the guy's bio, though...sounds like he's done enough different things that he's not afflicted with tunnel vision. Thanks. I'll get back to you...
