That's a common reaction to his tangents.

Yeah, I don't know what's worse here, the fact that Andrew got banned for effectively nothing or the fact that Kyo understood enough of it to find reason to ban him.

Try not to think about it.

They must log differently in other states. When they log here, they cut everything, and usally don't plant trees back. It usally looks like someone dropped a bomb on the area.

While I don't buy for a second the idiocy that Kinopio is throwing out about this being a ploy to make barrels of oil go up in price, I do think that there is a line that should drawn when it comes to ravaging the environment. Like the rest of you, I don't have enough facts to have a valid opinion on the potential damage here, but I am always leary of destroying forests. I hate seeing land around where I live developed into yet another strip mall, and this appears to be the same thing on a grand scale.

theres not going to be a country left after bush leaves office.

I don't think the banning was called for.

Now onto the subject at hand, That's a lot of land to be cleared. I'm not going to sit here and say I understand how it will all work out but I still think that's a lot of land to give to companies.
