File this under the chapter called "Rural Cleansing" in the book titled "John Kitzhaber's Legacy to Oregon".

Yeah, but the tree-huggers will only tell you that the loggers were just a bunch of tree murderers.

In 1982 when I was a head sawyer for the worlds highest producing hardwood sawmill (according to a timber harvesting mag) I made just over 18,500 dollars.
This year I made just over 5,000 gross as the owner and president of my own logging corp. Feb I go see the orthopedic surgeon and will no doubt go in for my 3rd back operation in 11 years. I will then file for disability..I've had enough. The big timber corporations dont care as they are getting more and more raw products from overseas to run their paper mills, and the dam eco fruits certainly dont care...I hate each and every one of the blood sucking scum and go out of my way to let them know it.
If you want to know how the robber barons live..just go ask the head of Besse Forest Products Group (web site) how nice it is to attend Green Bay Packers games from his personal sky box at the stadium...or ask him how well he and his sons brand new million dollar houses are comming along. Yet the miserable greedy pig wont give his jobbers another 40 bucks a thousand to produce logs for his outfit. Then tells the scalers to cut the scale on the producers..
So next time you by that fancy laminated snap together hardwood flooring just think of how you are providing for their living the high life.

. But it was not until Helvoigt alerted them to a long-overlooked state database that they could fill in the blanks.

Read, it was not until a Republican president was elected . . . .
