Congress Eyes Plan To Ramp Up Oregon Timber Harvest

2. I agree with Straight Story...

leave the poor trees alone...they take many human life-times to regrow.

Hemp, however, would create a huge crop each year...and without the horrid disruption to what is part of the Earth's life support systems.

And, a simple respect for minorities ( uncut areas of forest are almost non-existent...too much of the PNW looks like a badly moth-eaten blanket, from just about any peak you might ascend) would dictate that we leave the trees alone.

Goddess, please forefend this kind of short sighted cutting of the trees, and please help us find sustainable ways to help communities support themselves. Boom-and-bust, gold-rush schemes are NOT the answer.
