[The Californian]

As a fouth generation Californian, an amateur in habitat restoration, engineer, and author of a book on environmental policy, I find the kind of forest and wildland management proposals I see coming out of the Sierra Club to be an outrage.

As far as I am concerned, many of those people belong in jail, or better yet, should be forced to weed starthistle, broom, german ivy, and hemlock for the rest of their un-natural lives.

Watching millions of acres of forest burn together with the loss of wildlife and risk to property owners and fire personnel doesn't seem logical if we view forests in its simplistic form as:

1. A renewable source of supply via reforestation

2. providing usable products

3. providing jobs in the logging industry

Let's get with the program and not watch another asset wasted. Its the Alaskan 2002 Folly continued aka "Let's just let our assets sit there. We can look at them."

What the hell do you think these assets are for!! God didn't put anything on earth to just look at!! That's what the sun and moon and stars are for.
