lwilli201,

Re: "Not thinning the forrest is worse than leaving them alone. They are one match away from burning to the ground."

Somehow, our forests have managed to endure for millions and millions of years without your help.

The Bush-puppet even launched an attack on our mighty California redwoods- trees that are thousands of years old. What a greedy, foolish, dope!

I do agreee with you though, that selective logging is preferable to clear-cutting, especially for the watershed.

Not thinning the forrest is worse than leaving them alone. They are one match away from burning to the ground. Thinning the forrest and controling the flamible stuff on the forrest floor will help more towards saving them. Clear cutting was not on the table. Now Canada can clear cut their forrest, sell the lumber to the US and let all the mud from those mountains flow into our rivers. These nuts can complain about cutting trees for lumber when they all live in plastic houses or caves.

"I think people who love wildlife and care for our public forest should be elated by this decision."

Indeed we are. I would consider more logging of pristine forest land, however, if more fuel were needed to help the PNAC Bush traitors roast in hell.

Israeli officer: I was right
to shoot 13-year-old child
Radio exchange contradicts army version of Gaza killing


Thirteen-year-old Iman Al-Hams was killed when an Israeli officer emptied his weapon into her. Israelis have been responsible for killing over 600 other Palestinian children since September 2000.

By Chris McGreal
UK Guardian


An Israeli army officer who repeatedly shot a 13-year-old Palestinian girl in Gaza dismissed a warning from another soldier that she was a child by saying he would have killed her even if she was three years old.

The officer, identified by the army only as Captain R, was charged this week with illegal use of his weapon, conduct unbecoming an officer and other relatively minor infractions after emptying all 10 bullets from his gun%u2019s magazine into Iman al-Hams when she walked into a %u201Csecurity area%u201D on the edge of Rafah refugee camp last month.

A tape recording of radio exchanges between soldiers involved in the incident, played on Israeli television, contradicts the army%u2019s account of the events and appears to show that the captain shot the girl in cold blood.

AMERICA! STOP ISRAELI ZIONIST TERRORISM AND STOP 85 % OF WORLD TERRORISM! PROTECT OURSELVES !

Bush is either crasey or a demon from hell, possibly both.

The Bush administration obviously believes that our national treasures need to be converted into cash to have any real value.

It's the only kind of inheritance for our future generations that this administration thinks has any value whatsoever.

Chop it down, sell it, and take the cash.....

Way to go! Great Decision! Preserve the forests and keep the national parks and all their treasures for the people.

We managed to make it just fine with the rules that existed before Bush. Let's keep those. One thing I know for sure is that if Bush made the rules they were written by and for the industry they are meant to regulate.

The wealthy elite like to have nice pretty forests to place their million dollar houses in the middle (using the "inholding" provisions related to mining). They don't want messy logging near their luxury palaces.

All over the "national" forest in Colorado, for example, every few miles, you will see a private drive on private property carved out of the "national" forest through a fake mining claim and a group of lawyers who cheat the public of their public property. This land is seized by multi-millionaires who build grosteque luxury villas high up on every nice ridge or viewpoint.

Of course the next step is to stop logging or other commercial activities on these expensive luxury estates, estate paid and maintained by the stupid taxpayer, the beast of burden, the worthless ones whose land is seized, property stolen, wealth stolen, nature defrauded, and we get to pay for it all too.

Not a victory for the little furry bunnies, its a victory of the indolent nature abusers over the industrious nature abusers, one group of hateful elite fighting with another. Let them all go to hell.
