Oh yes, the mismanagement of the nation’s forest is criminal. This stupid policy of letting everything lay just waiting for a spark causes disasterous forest fires.
Homer Lee Wilkes has as much experience managing forests as B. Hussein Obama has managing anything! Birds-of-an-affirmative-action feather flock together!
It does appear Mr. Wilkes is also a form of community organizer to boot (Katrina cleanup community service). I suppose the only question left to answer is, is he a Communist as well?
The US Forest Service is in for a rough ride. But so is America.
The benighted Obama White House continues to cobble together what history will record as the single most incompetent administration in the annals of America, bar none.
Not content to find the basement and remain there, they are digging the nation ever deeper into what seems virtually a bottomless well of misdirected effort.
This, to such an extent that future administrations, together with future generations of Americans, will have to labor mightily simply to locate the ground floor of political, social, and cultural rationality.
And it’s only been a little over three months.
It’s staring already. Here’s a quote from another thread:
“Hundreds of miles of backcountry roads used by outdoor enthusiasts would be closed under a new federal plan to protect grizzly bears in the Selkirk and Cabinet mountains that stretch from northeastern Washington to northwestern Montana. . . .”

Wonderful. Another a-hole who'll work a few hours a week on the job, maybe, and the rest of the week on his personal "diversity" agenda. Its rife in big corporations. And if you say boo, you're a racist. Black Rage is a beautiful thing....NOT!
One of the things that amazed me recently is the number of National Forests that require dogs to be on a leash anywhere in the forest.
All part of the ‘Keep the Peons out of OUR Forests!” program.

I had to look it up. He worked for what used to be the Soil Conservation Service. He has no background in things like timber sales, recreational use of public lands (the NRCS advises private land owners), hunting, ATVs, hikers, etc.
But as others have noted, how hard is it to say no? No hikers. No hunters. No ATVs. No timber sales. No No No!
Darn it! If I were black, I could have competed for the job...
And the sad thing is that most of the ‘conservationists’, who live in cities and get their ‘wild’ time from watching TV, will think that is fine.
The same fine organization worked the Klamath Falls conservation program...and we all know how well THAT has worked!

There are a huge number of rules in the Forests that most people don’t even know about. It’s easy to break the rules.
