Just to make it clear: I understand that we need forest-based products, and the companies that manufacture and supply them need to make a profit. My bias is that I don't trust the Bush administration to see National Forests as anything but a source of raw-materials for logging companies, instead of trying to balance the multiple uses they were established for. These uses are not always consistent with the aims of companies that are legititmately trying to make a profit with their operations. So giving a profit-making company the right to run certain operations in the National Forests is not always a good thing.

I don't trust the current generation of anti-capitalist types that have infiltrated the agencies.
Without trust, societies cannot function.
