I have no idea what you mean. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 10/10/2010 09:57:02 AM
It's tempting, it really is. However, I'll respond substantively and say that in a lot of cases, commercial forestry in certain areas is good because as forests age, the risk of fire increases due to clutter in the underbrush. Obviously, destroying *ALL* naturally occurring forests is bad, but to destroy some of it - that actually tends to reduce forest fires.

Fair point.

Camilla, you're a great lady, but you're almost a walking parody sometimes. LiterateDog - 08/10/2010 11:07:04 PM 1005 Views

You can't read on an iPad any more than you can read on a laptop. *NM* Ghavrel - 09/10/2010 09:19:22 PM 357 Views
