Dave,

My point is that demand drives the process not the corps. Stop building big homes and the demand will drop and so will the need to use roadless areas. It is not a big conspiracy to rape the environment. If everyone wants a new 2800sf home with brand new 80 fot easements paved and sidewalked the raw goods have to come from somewhere.

Personally I would like to see everything locked up but I will not
blame someone for taking my dollar vote and using it the best waythey know how to keep me happy.

On the lumber I am not sure if there is a glut. Maybe in Canada due to the soft wood import taxes. They have driven the price of plywood etc. up. A 4x8 sheet of 7/16" OSB is double what it was a year ago.
