It's called the "Protection of Pot Farms Act", I think.

[tertiary01]

Just let him try it in my neck of the woods ping.

Pandering to the eco-wackos.

Forests are meant to be used for recreation and harvested.

Renewable cash crop, don't ya' know.

Hey Norm! I swear I just saw a charicature of Shifty Schwartzie on the promo for the up-coming new cartoon character movie "THE ANT BULLY!"

That must mean that dorky Angelides is gonna be the ant, right??? Hey! It looks and even TALKs exactly like the whitewater rafting, EnvironMentally crazed Goobernator!!! (accept he ain't funny!!!)

Just let him try it in my neck of the woods ping.

Are you sure he hasn't? 4 million acres is a WHOLE LOT OF ACRES!

California in total is, what, about 100 million acres?

Arnie isn't trying to hide any longer, he's showing himself to be the "watermelon" that he really is.

Plus having a brown stripe on his nose from making love to the democrats.

Believe it or not I just received in the mail today a copy of the Sugarberry Project in which is listed 20 small under .4 mi roads to be decommissioned. I'm sure the longer roads are to be listed later.

I'm too disgusted to type a civil word right here!!!

Besides, I'm exhausted from typeing a specimen "Letter to the Editor" for the tubester's amusement on FReepmail. I put a lot of myself, complete with a lot of bad words in that baby!!!

[SierraWasp]

"There is no guarantee that the Bush administration is going to grant this petition," Lockyer spokeswoman Teresa Schilling said of the Schwarzenegger request. "They could just accept it or reject it without any reason."

Well I'll tell ya what... President Bush oughta give this the exact treatment that Stupid Schwartzie gave the President's request for CA National Guard on our Mexifornian border!!!

[tertiary01]

Thank god for people like you.

I'm soo busy it's hard to keep my priorities straight. Sometimes that's what I believe this government is all about. Keep everyone so busy working and stamping out the fires they set that we won't notice when they steal the country out from under us.

[SierraWasp]

Well, I'd like to take credit, but the letter I wrote for tubebender was to demonstrate my contempt and disgust for his local newspaper writer's cowardice for not including the real cause for the demise of the timber industry in Humbolt County!!!

I didn't REALLY do anything! It was a "virtual" Letter to the Editor!!! If tubebender actually sent it in, they'd probably have him arrested and jailed and flogged and tortured!!!

[SierraWasp]

But I certainly understood the sentiment and frustration in your reply to me!!!

Clinton passed the road-building ban eight days before he left office in January 2001.

Passed?

[yankeedame]

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Wednesday plans to ask the federal government to prohibit roads on 4.4 million acres of national forest land in California, with limited exceptions for thinning trees to reduce fire danger.

Who decides what is/are "limited exceptions"? Sounds like as made-to-order shakedown by and for government bureaucrats.

[tertiary01]

LOL! I guess I misunderstood.
I swear there isn't enough hours in the day for me to give my undivided attention long enough to even understand what is being posted.

[Migraine]

More roads in forest = more trees alive after the forest fire.
Fewer roads in forest = massive, unstoppable conflagrations.
Use it, or lose it; that does not change.

[tubebender]

DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOUR COUNTY

[TYVets]

The Clinton Legacy lives on.

[SierraWasp]

Well you sure are being overworked and underpaid!!!

There was a time not too long ago that I was willing to champion just about any cause as long as it was conservative and delt with the defense of ownership and CONTROL of one's private property and all the rights attendant to it!!!

I was in organizational meetings and meetings of all other types all night and day!!! I was a real "causer" by Golly!!! But then a lot of the other people's interest seemed to lag when it looked like we were beginning to win.

Americans never lose... They just lose interest!!!
