Well said, Don. Your point about the exportation of the forests should have my friend, DougR, at least questioning the party line on this issue. Hmmmmmm? Nah, I'm afraid he thinks if he questions one part of the party line then his cozy little world would come crashing in on him....

And I know that what you say about leaving the branches. Around these parts it's that paper industry. They come in. cut down acres and acres of trees and haul off the trunks leaving a major fire hazard.

Yeah, we're starting to see a patern here with Junior. He tends to let the industies write their own regulations and policies. Same with his energy policy which was written exclusively by Chaeney's oil and gas buddies. Hmmmmmm?

Heck, if thats the kind of government we want, we ought to quit wasting time with elections and just turn the joint over to the CEO's. I hear Ken Lay is lookin' for a job...
