reminds me of part of retirement speech I was privey to when the CEO of a major media company I was working for retired.
"Now that I'm retiring, I can say things without caring too much about what people think. I've been pondering political correctness in media. What I don't understand is man kind can procreate just about anywhere, anytime. In the back of car, in a parking lot, you name it. Why the hell does the white spotted owl need 50 million acres?"

OK, all of you concrete walkers, here's some conter-intuitive facts concerning forests.
Forest need/count on trama around every 40 years. It needs this to support a diverse habitat. If it wasn't for forest fires, you would have freak environmental zones like the Redwood forest in Cali. That forest supports nothing but those trees. There is no underbrush that allows rabbits to hide in, there is no new growth, nothing. Also, for many species of trees, they will stand twice as long as their life time. Eventually a tree will outgrow it's ability to provide all of its cells with water and photosynthesis. What then happens is that the trunk of the tree will dry out and start to rot from the inside. There may be folliage at the top, but the tree is just waiting to die. If you leave a section of a forest like that for too long of a time, you get a tinder box: a single spark on a pine needle will send the entire tree ablaze in minutes.
It's funny how some environmentalists don't want to study an environment and how it works but would rather artifically protect aspects of an environment and thereby ruin the entire environment.

Just more proof that it is an outdated system that needs to go.
Hate to break it to ya, but the E.C. is the same exact thing as it is every other day of the week. Sure, they give it a spiffy name cause it's a Presidential election - but the only difference between the E.C. and the House/Senate representative government that you're used to every day, is that the House and Senate are combined in the voting.
The major problem is that people believe we live in a democracy - that's stupid. We don't. We never did. People want to think so, and those people are wrong.
Pay attention the next time you salute the flag. "...and to the <b>republic</b> for which it stands..." - republic, not democracy. A republiuc is a representative government, the one we live in.
A democracy - a true one - means that the people vote on everything, and it also removes the need for elected officials. You vote on every bill, every day.
This country is way too fucking stupid to handle that shit.
And anyway, who would you rather have in there? Gore? :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Ever notice whenever these major forest fires are happening in California, or Montana, the news reports that the threaten "local residents"?
Here's a thought... MOVE AWAY FROM THE FUCKING FOREST! No one told them to plunk their home way out in the sub-suburbs. This ain't the Old West times anymore; we have cities dammit, we should all live in them-- unless you are a fucking farmer, and even then, a forest region isn't exactly ideal to you.

The E.C. is a go-between, just like Congress.

I'm sorry, but I love living amonst trees. Cities suck. Plain and simple. I need my space, clean air, huge buffers between me and other people.
:tog: Plus, black people get really nervous when they are around really tall trees, so I know I am safe.:/tog:
