If the Sierra Club lawyers would stop filing lawsuits with weak, emotional judges...
then the USFS and BLM would be allowed to grant allotments to lumber mills who would environmentally harvest the dead trees while they still have some economic value.
This would provide good jobs to rural communities and families...
This would be a revenue source for the USFS...
The forest would be healthier...
Elk, deer...prefer open spaces with grass to eat . Their first choice is not bark from trees.
Eagles, hawks...like open spaces to see and catch their dinner, too.
Small fires would not balloon into major massive explosions because logging would have created fire breaks and roads for access for the fire fighter's equipment...
These massive fires cause air pollution, water pollution, soil destruction...
It is Bush's fault for not thinning the trees fast enough.
Sierra Club - Happiest when California Burns!
Soil Erosion, loss of wildlife and habitat, uncountable financial loss....
That is Sierra Club preservation - at its worst!
How many here enjoy paying for those rich environMENTAL lawyers fees for the suits they bring for the likes of the Sierra Club?
Its true! Most suits brought by the environMENTALISTS (concerning timber) are financed by us taxpayers. Take that away and you would cut the head right square off the snake.
