It's nice to get all the fruitcakes in one line here . . .

Old 'Joe Green'/Jason Kodish has no interest in addressing anything I've 
posted in this thread - he simply sees life as a war of us against them .

Economics isn't a scientific study, Jason.

Of course no one has discussed economics at all here, so it's clear that 
Jason has stumbled and fallen into this thread . . .

So Kodish just got back from the peeler bar . . .

Rock on, Jason!

And this has what to do with the BC forest industry?

Errrmmm . . .fine them for what?  Are you also including outfits like 
Kraft, Microsoft, Safeway, Imperial Oil . . .?

So you are now a hypocrite, or you don't use paper?

Campbell _is_ the country club set.  Hope?  I'll be surprised if Campbell 
does the right thing, Jason.
