George: I agree as this is obvious. Thing is this-the enviro-coms will never allow production. They will sit and consume until all products are gone, but they will not stand for the production of any more. Go figure!

Back in the late 70s and early 80s, after watching these enviro-coms slime their way into our home, we developed a new name for them: we called them the hip-wa-zee; our new breed of rulers flooding into our home to teach us what is right and what is wrong. It has been so long since production of natural resources have been developed in Alaska that many folks don't remember such. People have been living in an oily haze for the past 40 years.

A thriving timber industry in the Tongass would only benefit the forest. These communities need access to a reliable source of timber in order to have mills to employ our children. But the enviro-coms will never have that!
