I am not sure how this thread swerved from a hot chick and a slimy lieing weasel, to being about tree farms, but I'll wade on in!
If a paper or lumber company owns the land, they should be able to harvest the lumber from that land. They should replace the timber and re-grow their "crop". Although I personally don't think that pine trees growing in rows can match the beauty of a diversified forrest, they can grow trees as crops. I got no problem with that. My problem comes when they cut down all their trees and want to take mine! Mine (and yours) are in the National Forrest, and should be left alone period!!!! They shouldn't be "managed" or whatever the current Bush term is for allowing the National Forrest to be logged, for any reason. Lumber companies-- Keep your hands off my trees".
Lumber companies aren't the only problem here, but that's enough for this time.
Excel - As usual, a well worded and reasonable post. I agree.
