Huh? *What* are you mumbling about? How retrieving trees downed by
large scale disasters and turning them into lumber makes a national
forest a tree farm is a leap too confused to be seen.

Eh? Oh, yeah, any tax amount less than 100% of everything is a subsidy.

Sorry charlie -- the only legitimate and valid purpose of a government
is to allow people maximum freedom. It is NOT to allow some narrow

fair.
