Try the Sierras in California. 15 years ago it was easy to selectively timber private lands for profit, the home owner made money, the little timber guy made money the mill made money and the forest was thinned for fire safety. Now the environmental impact statement costs as much as the profit, the mills shut down and the forest is in horrible condition.

I know of what I speak. And by the way, check the laws, you are a felon. I have read the average citizen commits around three felony's a month now, none of which they are aware of.

Its called Fascism.

The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.
