Dans,
I can do nothing but agree with that statement.On one hand I want the ability to mange our forest and on the other I want to see some old roads recaptured.I do not for one minute believe that Bush is trying to cut all our trees down.I understand the feelings of the people that live next to these roadless ereas and are unable to do any kind of fire prevention.I do not believe that the federal gov should be telling local gov. how to deal with there propoerties,they are just pandering to the extreme enviro groups for there vote.Emotional politics works good for the democrats.It goes both ways like you said.

The last thing I am going to do is vote solely on an enviro issue.Too many people do just that now.At present the only choice I realy have is to vote dem. or rep.If somebody come up with the money and the support too buck either party I would jump in but at present there is no such critter. Being raised a god fearing man that does not rely on hand outs I will stick with the rep.

go Bush
