It's typical for humans to assume that their's is the only interest of concern when it comes to natural resources. Too bad, so sad, kill a republican if it makes you feel better. What bugs me about it is that Canada allows the farming of industrial hemp. That being the case, there really should be no need for them to treat their forests in that way.

If, while the city of you gene was interfering with the free trade by mandating that sani- offer curbside recycling, they had also mandated that any paper company doing business in the area had to guarantee that all their products contain a minimum of post-consumer content from the local waste paper stream, then we'd have seen a leveling rather than a slanting of the field. But no. (From the dialectic, wymaraner no doubt would have brought in their big guns to defeat any such mandate--but it would have been nice if eugene had even thought to try it).? > I don't know if you've flown recently between Alaska and the lower 48? > on a clear day, but what's being done to the B.C. forests should be a? > Class A Felony.

Always kinda sickened me how the beauty of canada has not seemed to translate into its politics and business. _______________________________________________? EUGLUG mailing list?
