Foolish? You must be talking about the mentality that a forest is but a
stack of nacent 2x4's?

Misguided? Perhaps the fantasy that MacBlo will keep it's promise not to
ask for cutting rights on the rest of Clayoquot in a few years.

Inappropriate? Certainly the act of cutting the _last_ remnant of old growth
forest, and believing that simply replanting seedlings will make up for it.

Ya know, if someone had predicted 25 years ago that we'd be trying to log
the last stands of such forest, they'd have laughed her/him out of town.
