In a move to protect endangered species, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced Thursday that his department had reversed a Bush administration decision to double the amount of logging allowed in and around old-growth forests in western Oregon.
The Bush Bullshit Bill would have caused over HALF A BILLION BOARD FEET EVERY YEAR to be logged out of 2.6 million acres of forest, most of which has already lost much of its old growth to logging.
Naturally, the loggers are whining like Hell over this, since they don’t give a shit for nothing that they would create a sea of stumps, trash the trout streams and wipe out huge amounts of habitat, as long as they keep drawing paychecks. I mean, like, Fuck The Earth, who cares if mountain forests are turned into mass, muddy, barren erosion eyesores as long as we can make money?
My politics are non-existent. I care about quality of life for all of us, and that necessarily means all other creatures besides us. We’re all on the same boat and we’re all interdependent. That the Obama administration has actually done something truly positive blows my mind, considering all the Far Left radical Socialist crap and Huge Government Takeovers he’s shoved down our throats so far, along with his chumming up to all our enemies and turning his back, meaning Americas back, on our old friends.
So when I see a bit of good news floating like a lifeboat amid the bumping turds, in the septic sea that our media keeps panning their cameras across for us, I sieze on it with the desparation of a drowning man.
It just can’t be bad news all the time. People can only take just so much.
Talking about trees and nature, how is your retreat coming along? The cabin, outhouse, etc. Is it finished, have you moved there full time?
