Timber giant gears up for eco-battles

By Emily Gurnon -- Bee Correspondent - (Published May 5, 2002) More than two years after anti-logging protester Julia "Butterfly" Hill descended from her redwood tree home, the Pacific Lumber Co. said it is gearing up for a new set of clashes around its plans to log in certain areas of Humboldt County.

Just once I would like to see Bucket Brigade people surround these trees and not allow their buddies to give them food and water. They'll come down eventually. Bring the shovels and fill in the ditches as fast as they dig them etc.

[farmfriend]

To heck with it. Pinging everybody.

[Zeroisanumber]

24/7 around each tree? Good luck.

These children need education. They have behavior problems. I think it's something missing in their childhood, don't you?

I know! Seeing as they are probably lacking somewhat parental guidance and bonding, I think someone should read to them. We should take advantage of a captive audience to teach them how they are being used by the same globalists that they so greatly fear and despise.

Put together a 24-hour tag-team of readers, preferably small forest landowners, so that we can make the best use of everybody's time (and make certain that they can't get fresh batteries). Get a bull-horn, a cooler full of beer and sandwiches, and some light reading material:

Undue Influence, by Ron Arnold

Set Up and Sold Out: Find Out What Green Really Means, by Holly Swanson

The Skeptical Environmentalist, by Bjorn Lomborg

Natural Process: That Environmental Laws May Serve the Laws of Nature, by, uh, that would be me.

You get the idea. Read to them, educate them, patiently and with friendly (but firm) compassion, 24 hours a day. Offer them the beer and sandwiches if they come down. Think of the photo-op!

[farmfriend]

I love it. Truly love it.

[Carry_Okie]

I wish they were down here, I might do it. There was a sitter here on Redwood Empire property, but one fell and the others just abandoned the platform. Later when it was brought down there were death threats written on it. These kids are out of control.

I live in The Peoples Republic of Oregon. We can really grow trees. We can`t cut them. We have an unemployment rate close to 9%.The schools are out of money. Doesn`t matter, the rats will not let us cut trees.[ rumor is that next we can`t cut grass]

[sleavelessinseattle]

bttt....Protest is free speech, wrecking equipment and endangering lives is terrorism...A little bedtime BIBLE reading might help with these insomnomaniacs...

[backhoe]

These children need education. They have behavior problems. I think it's something missing...

Yep- sense and common sense.

They seem to believe that trees live forever ( well, duh! ) and that "old growth" forests stood untouched & unharmed from the dawn of time, until Evil Men appeared.

[oceanperch]

If they can stand the smell of the skanks.

[oceanperch]

Slash burns under them with Humbolt Bud they will drop like flies out of dem trees.

[sauropod]

agree.

[Grampa Dave]

Of course something offer something special from Humboldt to smoke, if the sitters don't inhale!

Burger King can donate its new Peat Moss not Really burgers, which the Peta Thugs have forced on BK. (Link to Peta's site bragging about forcing BK to serve this awful thing to fund more eco terrorism and maybe tree sitters)

[boris]

Suggestion: hire a crop-spraying biplane. Fill the tank with molasses. Have it tow a big banner reading, "MALATHION". Spray as needed.

I figger that'd clear the pests outa the trees pretty fast...

"Just once I would like to see Bucket Brigade people surround these trees and not allow their buddies to give them food and water."

Need I inform you of the flaw in your idea?

The Eco-terrorists have no life; terrorism is their life. - We, on the other hand have families, businesses, and other responsibilities that prevent us from turning our lives into a continuous stream of symbolism.

[headsonpikes]

These 'kids', as you call them, are the final product of the public school system.

Whatever native intelligence they may possess has been subverted, inverted, and perverted by an educational establishment whose inner logic strives to perfect a ruthless social engineering scheme, intrinsically no different from the Soviet project of creating 'a new man'.

These misguided youths are a sorry substitute for a well-schooled posterity, capable of carrying out needful historical tasks.

Wacko leftist groups are a handy means of derailing intellectual critics of the American State from pursuing effective opposition to it. Frankly, an angry citizenry is just what the country needs to save it from a recurrence of the Clinton phenomena, surely a low point in recent times of probity in high office.

As it is, the so-called 'Left alternative' offers NO real alternative to the massive and intrusive state which has been the bane of humanity, including America for more than half a century.

I think young people will not long be fooled by this barren choice-- corrupt interest-driven government as offered by the Republicans OR interest-driven corrupt government, but more of it, the insane Democratic alternative!

The public schools are turning out legions of graduates whose science education has been warped by the governing paradigm. At some point in time, young people will have a moment of enlightenment. ;^)

Then we will see how the socialist wet-dream state fares. I predict, 'not well'.

Sorry to rant off-topic, but enviro-wackoism is made possible only by a school system which values politically correct ignorance to applecart-upsetting truth.

[E.G.C.]

BTTT!!!!!!

[blackie]

Stop the attacks by the wacko, enviro-nazis terrorist's on our Freedoms !!

Freedom Is Worth Fighting For !!

Molon Labe !!
