As usual Carry, you immediately see the possible long term benefit that includes most all living things in the forrests(including humans). Removing the rigid unworkable restrictions of the Endangered Species act will allow the Government and private entities the flexibility to manage all forrests for always renewable best health/best yield methods. However, it will take quite a while to suffer through the damage done by envirowackos who have acess to lawyers.
Most people don't realize how little "Natural" there is out there. Even Redwood National Park is largely composed of second growth stands, now 10-20 times the density of their original composition, with a forest so impacted that is killing its own biodiversity. If it was my land, I'd log it, even if it was a borderline proposition. Maybe the trees would pay to grind some stumps.
If I had a dream it would be to to take the currently non-existent proceeds of the book and its patent to be inventing and developing the kind of tools and processes it will take to fix this mess. In a very real sense, that's exactly what I'm doing now.
