-Caveat Lector-
I hope this gets thru- I've never seen
an email address with a / in it.
It is of course, of great interest and
importance to do whatever may be done
to return the FOREST SERVICE to the
position of guardian of public interest
administering publically owned
lands.
It may take quite a bit of doing, since the Forest Service has
been engaged
in assisting politically connected persons to PLUNDER public
lands for many
years.
A step in the right direction would certainly
be an immediate cessation of
any and all road-building into Publically
owned U.S. Forest Service
administered lands.
Somehow, the people
need to put the same sort of energy expressed at Seattle
WTO into insisting
that the Federal Bureacracy administer it's public trust
in the interests
of the PUBLIC and NOT in the interest of the few wealthy
and politically
connected individuals who seem to wish to reduce every
mountainside into
artificially "forested" logging fields.
