"Their own property."  Right.  Property bought with junk bonds by a man
who owes the American public 1.6 billion dollars for a failed Savings and
Loan.  The taxpayers have *already* paid for Headwaters forest, so it
should be preserved.

And BTW, this is about a lot more than just "cutting down trees".  Cut old
growth redwoods and you destroy an ecosystem that takes *THOUSANDS* of
years to regenrate.  Thousands, think about that.  "America, land of the
free" is only about 200 years old.  And you tend to muck up any streams in
the area, destroying *other people's* property downstream.
