Seriously though take a moment and remember all those loggers who have been senselessly killed because of some of the stunts tree activists have pulled and you really won't feel bad about laughing. These people aren't just freaks, in many cases they're murderers.

Spiking trees is a good example. These morons put spikes in tree trunks. Then, when a logger hits a spike with his chainsaw, it breaks the chain and causes it to fling backward at him -- killing or seriously injuring the logger. It's senseless crap like this. Let's face it: a logger is just doing his job, he isn't evil and doesn't deserve to be maimed or killed in the interest of enviro-terrorism.

Likewise at the sawmill. Some of the blades used to cut trees to size can be 5'-0" in diameter, costs thousands of dollars, and throw teeth like shrapnel when they hit a spike at high speed. Most mills now x-ray the trees before they cut them, and guess who picks up the cost for that equip[ment and time? You and I every time we buy something made of wood.
