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.




Unfortunately, your post indicates a complete disconnect from the
long-term reality of the current subject - which is completely off topic
for this forum - otherwise I'd be happy to help you fill in your blanks
so you wouldn't come off sounding like Bush Jr. Jr.

At will? That, to be polite, is pure unadulterated bull****.

Even the least responsible logging companies no longer want to be able to
effectively "stirp mine" forests, as once was done. Responsible logging is a
complex endeavor, not something done by some dingbat who thinks "at will" is a
reasonable way to harvest any crop.

As another point, one of the problems in the world now is the "at will"
harvesting of rain forests around the world. It will eventually upset the
ecological balance of much of the world, while totally messing up the land
where the deforestation occurs.

A distortion of the ESA, used as a

Oh bull****.

Learn something about forestry, among other things you know zip about, and then
come back, say in 20 years.

So, is Nikon really a subsidiary of Mitsubishi, as many believe, or do

they
have one of those wierd, semi-legal (even by Japanese standards) corporate
inter-relationships? This is really an important issue with regard to the
survival of Nikon as it has been historically constituted.
