    Are you claiming that the government of BC sold the Clayoquot rights
100 years ago?  Are you saying that in light of what we have learned
about forestry in the last 100 years, we should let companies go ahead
with 100 year old resource use plans? Are you actually trying to claim
M&B, dealing with a government which changes every 4-5 years, actually
thinks they can plan 100 years ahead?

    Like M&B has made good on it's contractual agreements re: cleanup,
protecting Salmon streams, and so on?
