Setting aside the presidents ability or lack thereof to speak... The problem with letting loggers come in and "thin out" out national forests is that they won't. The problem is scrub trees and brush and bushes, not the large 60-100 year old trees loggers want. Taking the tall trees causes another problem. When the shade is removed, the undergrowth dries out and becomes a tinderbox. Don't know if anyone else had let loggers into thier woods but Dad just had his logged last year. The only time they cut scrub trees like boxelders and ash were when they were in the way of the real trees. They also left all the limbs from the trees they took laying around. I agree that our national forests need to be maintained but absolutely disagree that loggers are the ones to do it. They're able, not willing. If requirements were made that they had to cut the scrub trees and they were told to clean up after themselves, they'd say, "No thanks." The EPA's budget has been gutted for Mr. Bush's other projects so regulating "Off road" emissions is pry on the back burner at this point. Funny how us conservatives are all for small federal government but this administration has enlarged it by leaps and bounds. Someday, everyone on here will realize that this administration really isn't conservative. It touts ultraconservative views but doesn't uphold them...
