So her statement that she was most concerned that the logging companies might make a profit off the legislation was a figment of my imagination.

Who to believe, my lying ears or you!!!!

Good try....are you on Feinstein's staff?

FYI Carry_Okie is a respected environmental expert. Might want to atleast try and have a civil conversation with him.

"There is a tremendous lesson in these fires. That the land has to be managed," said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., a leading co-sponsor of the compromise forest bill. The Senate approved it by a vote of 80-14.

The Healthy Forests Iniative would not have passed with the margin it did without Feinstein's support. Feinstein has an established record supporting logging as a way to improve forest health. As much as I find her despicable, you are way out of line.

Quincy Library Group is another NGO getting govnerment funding. Its the same old thing, instead of taking care of problems in a constitutional fashion, a soviet style council is formed so that a consensus, or a pre-determined outcome, can be reached. Often legitimate business people join these groups because if they don't they don't have a say in what their government is doing. I don't see how enacting law by NGO consensus group is considered a win in any way, unless you support government by soviet style council.

Read about the people running this group-- its sustainable this, consensus that, collaborative involvement-- Pravda could have edited this stuff. Anyone lurking or posting to freerepublic finds a wealth of documentation that shows sustainable developement, forestry or anything is the socialization of that resource.

I don't believe non-governmental organizations should have more influence than individual citizens on government policy, and I most certainly do not think they should get funding by the government for anything.
