I think they escaped from the nut house.

Tim, Where those people Heather's old friends? jg

Wow !!!!!!!

That's all I'm going to say, cuss I can really get rolling on this one .

God bless America!

It's a great country where this could be your biggest concern. Make's me feel warm and fuzzy i spent 16 years in our military defending the right to cry for trees!

That is not Zane in the backgroud is it. No can't be, he was at JC that weekend

Well I get it. First amendment rights, freedom of speech. Right to lawful assembly. Thanks to the service men and women that fight and sacrifice for our freedoms every day.

However after growing up around Southern Oregon, big timber country, being the son of a logger, hiking, hunting, working with the USFS marking timber, fighting fire, clearing trails and being in the woods most of my life, I can't get over the "Old Growth" fallacy.

All plants, trees, flowers, corn, wheat, alfalfa, reach maturity and die. Not a thing we can do about it, it happens. I can go up into the hills a half hour drive and see thousdands of board feet of lumber, dying, rotting on the stump, bug infested old growth timber, while small timber sales take young growing healthy trees that are the future forest.

Political forest management is what we have. Has never made sense to me.

I'll get off the soap box now.

EARTH FIRST!!!!!

Transplant(sorry for the pun) from Roseburg, Oregon (the once mighty and past timber capitol of the world) to South Carolina. Praise be to the spotted owl!

Quite a change: Oregon nuts and spiked trees!

South Carolina: the buckle of the bible belt.

Skylane and Average guy,

i hear ya! grew up in Western Washington. The hoopla over the great spotted owl killed the logging industry on the Olympic pennisula. Lots of good people out of work.

I have always found it ironic that all these primal screaming, tree-spiking people still wipe their 4th point of contact with the bi-product of the trees they want to save (or hug).

Don't get me wrong, the trees are great, they just are not more important than people. But, what can i say, i'm still happily burning fossil fuels

Hey! Maybe they want to come to my house and cry. I burn VERY old trees in my stove......they are so old they have turned to coal. If you don't believe me some times in the coal you even find a piece of petrified log...so why not stop all of the coal mining, shut down the coal burning power plants and go hug a piece of coal on some cold night for comfort!
...Maybe you will even find a fossil of some ancestor of the spotted owl buried in the coal pile!
Ever eat a Pine Tree?

Why are you apologizing to me? You think I'm a hippy kook crybaby because I'm a libtard?

I've probably felled more trees than most of you all.

Tim, when your sister says " these rocks have the most incredible lives", does she mean they have a storied past or is it just their amazing will to survive????



Sorry...I just enjoy a little fun with the earthworms.
