Sure. It used to be if you saw a bigfoot sticker on a car, you could pretty well bet it was either another researcher or someone with deep interest, maybe personal experience. Today bigfoot is the equivalent of a pink flamingo on someone's lawn. There is no stopping cultural absurdity. Stuff is not in your control or mine. All we can do is manage ourselves.

I don't think you are agreeing. Those are different statements. "Someone in government knowing" is different than government as a whole knowing. I'm fairly confident of both the truth of the first and the falsehood of the second. MIB

We will one day admit that the native Americans were correct in their assessment of Sasquatch as a great spirit of the forest, as we have already conceded that the tribal medicine man really did know which plants could cure an ailment. There is a reason that they remain elusive.

shut up poopy head

typical word play in the original post. not blaming the OP, but I am blaming his sources for fear mongering. opening 112M acres for logging doesn't mean that 112M acres will be logged. Today, we log anywhere from 2M to 10M acres a year in the US. The directive from President Trump is to increase logging by 25% domestically. That means 500K to 2.5M acres will be logged out of the 112M acres. We are talking about .45% to 2.23% of the 112M acres being logged. We have 823M acres of forest in the US. When you look at the amount of total forest impact, we are talking about to .06% to .30% of the forest being logged annually under this new rule. Is this really a sky is falling moment? NOT EVEN CLOSE. It is more whipped up hysteria from the true enemy of the people, the media.

I have a 100 percent guaranteed solution. We need a body!

The federal forests around me need thinning badly. Fires get worse every year. I welcome this news.
