Harry,
>Timber quantity in the US has increased most of this century from a low
>point in the mid twenties. You must look to the third world for the problem.
You are correct. But, I didn't say that the timber in the U.S. was
declining.
>And there the problem is not loss of timber, but poverty.
You're right again. But, once again I didn't say what you read into
it...
In the long run our waste and destruction will overtake poverty as a
cause.
Do you doubt it?
>And looking even deeper, you will come across monopolistic land tenure.
No doubt.
Thanks for your response. Do you have any comment on what I said?
