Vast areas of the earth were denuded of trees hundreds and 10s of

Name ONE!


At one time, Mount Lebanon was covered with a forest of Cedars, but
their exploitation began thousands of years ago. The Roman Emperor
Hadrian in the 2nd century, A.D. tried to protect the forest; however,
in the following centuries much of the forest was destroyed. The
immense and wondrous cedar forests of ancient times have disappeared.
Not much is left of the famous forests of biblical times,

I like this reason someone posted.

"i feel that no company should trade timber"

Yea and like how would we build houses and furniture? LOL


Well, the house bit is easy, build them properly out of brick..

And the cupboards and table and chairs out of brick?



Unfortunately for the "save the trees" wackos, even brick & adobe houses
need timber for frames, beams, doors, etc. I never understand why they
can't grasp a simple fact: Trees as a resource are not exhaustible, they
GROW BACK. Old growth trees should be cut down at will, the little ones
will simply keep growing and replace them, just as they've always done.

This is just another radical left wing initiative intended to cripple
commerce and radically restrict life styles. (Naturally, their rich bozo
contributors can have all the wood they want, they'll be the only ones
who can afford it!) The Spotted Owl? Doing fine, one pair was even found
nesting in a sign in a parking lot in Washington. A distortion of the
ESA, used as a canard by the wacked out left to destroy the logging
industry.



On second thought, what kind of drugs are you on? I don't expect you to
share so how much for a half ounce?



Do yourself a favor, e-wacko, lay off the enviro-Kool Aide for a week, take
a look around and maybe you''ll realize what a dupe you are.

CUT THE FRIGGIN' TREES AND SHUT UP!!!



You do know you're begging for someone to host a tree spiking party at
your place, don't you?

Bear in mind, however, that there is a huge difference between 10-year
plantantion pine and 150-year old hardwoods. The problem is that
logging tends to consume the largely irreplaceable hardwoords and then
plant crap pine over the top because it grows more easily.

The availablity of hardwood as a result of this is already starting to
become a problem. The price will gradually increase until it matches
the economic costs of setting aside enough land to *grow* the damn
things for that long a time, and that's a pretty high price.

commerce and radically restrict life styles. (Naturally, their rich bozo

Mindless ********. See above to get some clue.

Well, I would not regard these people as being either accurate or objective.
I would rate their cause at about the same level as the Baptists' boycott of
Disneyland. When you get right down to it, they are both religious issues.
