a different random thought

[Tiamat]

NOW I understand why some of you were SO adamant about your favorite lacal weather guy, it was righty/lefty thing! 

I guess so. For whatever reason it's hard to find anyone on the right to admit we over logged our forests.

I don't think a person needs a degree to understand logic. Forest fires are natural but they didn't destroy everything in the past like they do now when a forest has all the big trees removed. Big trees have VERY think nearly fireproof bark.
Simple logic will tell you that's WHY there are BIG TREES hundreds of years old.And also why there are BIG stumps

Big trees have big canopies shading the ground, holding moisture and preventing an over growth of very flammable brush.

Big trees are worth the big money. So of course they were removed first. It's typical to blame the loss of timber revenue on the spotted owl with nary a mind to the amount and style of logging that was done.


On the other hand only idiots can't understand that logging can be a sustainable business. Only idiots block every single sale with our court system.

UTR was just very adversarial. Very derisive. That's the one thing I see about most of the conservative posters. They aren't interested in real discussion. They are, however very interested in insulting and berating others and using very disrespectful tones to anyone they don't agree with. Liberals can do that too, but the conservative poster who is able to discuss thoughtfully and reasonably seems a rare breed. UTR was very oppositional.
