hate to break the bad news to you - but those in charge (corporate, etc.)
don't give 2 shits about the people who make their $$$ - trust me; if they
did, bad logging practices would never have changed.  Thanks to the IWA (i
am not pro union by any stretch) very little of forestry is production
based (pay rate).

i used to think highly of greenpeace, but over the last few years their
terrorist tactics have become unappealing...

i will continue to pick away piece by piece...
