I went and broke my own caveat and admonition about politics and religon on this thread. MEA CULPA,MEA CULPA. The earth faces severe environmental problems. Nobody is without guilt. I drive a inefficient fossil burning vehicle and live a lifestyle ( in spite of my complaints) unimaginable to most of our brothers and sisters. There are idiots in high places. People forget that the folks under them are often in untenable positions. Some of the finest people I know are timbermen who love the forests and are equally concerned with their future as any dreadlocked Earth First! friends of mine.
