yada yada yada.......the smart ones survive. That isn't you. Sorry.

Was George Bush an idiot? No, of course not. I've met some idiots, and every one of them was way smarter than Bush. Now, if you were talking about a box of rocks, well that's different. Only about half the rocks are smarter than Bush. That's my non-partisan view, so don't say I never said anything good about GW.

ha this is fun

I've done my homework, maybe you should try some reading comprehension
The fact is the Democrats fucked timber communities in the ass in the 90's. I'm sure you guys who consider where I live to be your weekend playground think that's wonderful. We on the other hand are still suffering from this and probably will never recover as a community. I say great and have your fun, eventually the Democrats will restrict these playgrounds to the point that only a handful of envirogeeks will be allowed, and you'll be locked out as well.

Its the same Democrats who never fail to to promote more legislation to restrict firearms, restrict hunting, or restricting access on public lands, not the Republicans.
Any hunter, gun owner, fisherman, or off roader who votes for a Democrat needs have an immediate psych eval for suicidal ideations in my opinion

thx for the inv btw, never been one able to resist the darkside of anything for long

Not very well.

"A new report found that 76% of old growth forests had been logged since World War II, and the remainder would largely disappear within fifteen years at current rates."

"Bush later opposed special laws to help those who would lose jobs due to environmental legislation. "

"Many small mills were forced to lay off workers, whether due to raw log exports, genuine timber shortages, or increased mechanization. "

You should also be upset about private timber land being turned into massive housing developments. (weyerhaeuser/quadrant homes).

We were locked out when they started gating logging roads that WE paid for.

If you fish you should be thankful.

Yep.

The folks you're preaching to were still chitting their diapers and suckin' mommas titt when logging took a dive here.....they couldn't pour piss from a boot but they know where the local REI is.

A new report by who? The Sierra Club?

Btw trees grow back. Once logged they are replanted like any other crop



At least he didn't take away people's living, then replace them with low paying service jobs. Still I'd like to see what else that was attached the legislation before I pass judgement



Things were going very well in 92 until...



Really where was this happening? Wasn't a problem here,my county looks pretty similar to the way it looked in 1980 - except a lot less mills. Maybe you guys should wring your hands and regulate your own backyards and leave mine alone.



You were locked out in most cases because others chose to dump garbage, meth making materials, stole private property, damaged private property, or were presenting a fire hazard. You ever heard of walking or riding a bike around the gates btw? Granted the forest patrol guys might look at you sternly and make you cry but sometimes it's worth the risk.

How about I pay for a footpath through your front yard? I'll use it whenever I like, leave behind garbage and dangerous chemicals, vandalize your lawn, steal your garden gnome, and trash your private vehicles in the name of "saving the environment". How long will it be before you cut off all access to your yard?


I am thankful. Thankful that real men like me cut the trees, built the roads, and maintained the forest so granola munching, starbucks drinking, Seattle metrosexual types like you can enjoy them.

If the Democrats screwed the logging communities then why did they extend unemployment and benefits to retrain displaced workers? I live in a former logging community. The local mill shut down and all that is left is a resource company with land they will sell to developers. I have ancestors who pioneered Grays Harbor. I fish and I cut trees. I even burn wood. My house is made of wood. Don't you think resources are limited? I even own firearms. I went in the woods looking for chantrelles but the forrest on the hill is so thin there were no more chantrelles. The only thing I like about the timber companies is that they allow recreation. The GOP is for the filthy rich. I'm not rich enough to vote Republican. Screw the NRA and right wingnuts! People who vote Republican and make less than $200K per year should have their heads examined.

maggot, your replies are stereotypical Grays Harbor mentality denial. Trees? plenty, just look around you they're all over, god forbid you should even think about not wearing cork boots. Salmon, hell they're a renewable resource, daddy fished for em, grandpappy fished for em, they just keep a comin'. "it's our way of life". think back to when you were 30, the local A&W drive in was the bees knees, then it turned into a mini mart. Who'd a thunk? And McDonalds? As foreign as a VCR.

People who vote strictly along party lines should have their heads examined..
