PORTLAND, Ore. -- A tree sitter in the Mount Hood National Forest died after falling 150 feet from a tree she was trying to protect from logging.
In a sad twist, the sale of timber the woman was protesting had been canceled three days before her death on Friday.
Local rescue crews struggled up snow-clogged dirt roads to reach the tree sitters' camp in the Eagle Creek wilderness area, east of Portland, after a fellow activist called 9-1-1 on a cell phone at about 7 p.m., Clackamas County Sheriff's spokeswoman Angela Blanchard said.

This LANO (Low Altitude, No Opening) event never would have happened if the late tree-squatter had an intellect equal to or exceeding that of a squirrel.
Officials speculated that she "got up on the wrong side of the bed" on that fateful day......

It looks like they are creating some kind of a human chain. Are they standing in a street? If so, that is nothing an 18-wheeler moving at a high rate of speed can't fix.

Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., an opponent of the timber sale... Why does a state whose main export is timber elect a demonRAT who sides with the enviro-whackos? Don't you all believe in jobs?

I still can't figure this one out. As a guitar player, let me help you out. The guy with the guitar is playing the "Cartwheel" song in G. Does that help?

"Rollllll ooooout the morons,
we'll have an-environmentally-safe-wood-substitute-container of fun!"
To: budwiesest
Almost forgot, one of the lines goes something like this:
"Ain't gonna cartwheel on a platform no more,
no more, no more, no more".

Respect her? She got what she deserved. What an idiot.

The logging companies should do what the paper companies(georgia pacific, cascade, etc.) have done for decades, buy up hundreds of thousands of acres, and grow their own trees. That makes more trees for everybody. I see nothing wrong with having both private forests and public forests.
