Kjackson,
Can you quote anyone of any standing in the environmental movement that has said that ALL logging or mining is bad? Trying to save some of the last 20% of old growth forest , restricting some of the most environmentally offending mining practices or advocating saving some wilderness is along way from saying all logging and mining is bad. The labeling of people that want to restrict the wholesale exploitation, with no consideration for sustainability or environmental damage, of our natural resources as radicals is underhanded tactic. The same thing is done to people advocating removal of a few of the most offending dams. The opposition invariably labels them as a group that wants to remove every dam in the western hemisphere. This is BS.
