I have no trouble believing this article. About ten years ago I was telling a group of people in San Francisco about having cut some trees down over the weekend up here in Washington State. I was really shocked by the horror I saw on their faces that I could be so backward thinking. Not only was I destroying the forests (this was alder, the weed of the forest that I thin every couple of years) and that I could be polluting the atmosphere (it rains a lot here so that really isn't a problem). At any rate, I learned that it is a topic best left not discussed in the Bay area.

Your last sentence re: "a topic best not discussed in the Bay area" is what I find to be so infuriating about these socialist/liberal elitists. They are so frigging scantimonious about being "open minded", yet will shout you down in the most vitriolic manner if you dare to take a point of view that is not entirely in lock-step with their own position. Not a day passes that I find my contempt and loathing growing in leaps and bounds for these individuals.
