[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 2244215, member: 92702"] Len, You can delete this if it is over the line, but I'm putting it out there because it is important to me. Being from flyover country I just don't understand or get it. Woke up this morning with poor visibility, and stinking air that chokes me. Why does the Federal Government and Western States refuse to manage their forests? Every year they burn millions of acres, kill millions of game and non game species, a few humans, and cause Billions in damage. Here we work so hard to manage our Forests that is we lose 100 acres to a fire we all cry. Conservationists have the political clout to change this. Why don't we have the will to go along with it? It should be pretty easy to twist some arms. Liberals are claiming they are willing to die on the Global Warming hill. Should be pretty easy to convince them the carbon they are releasing into the atmosphere will kill us all. Should be able to get the Preservationists on board, it is destroying what they claim to protect. Animal Rights Activists should be all in too, with all the animals that are being killed. Taxpayers should be in too. Lumber sales can pay for Forest Management. Everyone who wants a home would be in too because it would lower lumber prices. So why can't we get this done? The only reasons I can think of is the above groups either don't believe in what they claim, or aren't nearly as smart as they claim to be. Or, maybe I'm just a peasant in flyover country that should just shut his mouth and move along, and let smarter folks than me figure it out. [/QUOTE]
