[QUOTE="kciH, post: 376357, member: 28068"] It is common knowledge that logging enhances habitat for wildlife and prevents runaway forest fires such as the ones that we are experiencing now. Natural fires, which have been suppressed for many years allow the buildup of forest floot litter(branches, fallen limbs,etc) which fuel these exceptionally hot fires which destroy the mature trees instead of just the underbrush. Regular burning of the forest with fast low temperature "brush fires" makes for a healthier forest and enhanced wildlife habitat. Anyone who does not understand this should do a little research before calling anything a right-wing this or that, or anything else for that matter. I think that this would represent the average yearly yeild when logged at appropriate intervals over time. It's awfully tough to get a 2x4 out of a sappling. Not trying to start a war, just my $.02. Oh, and lets not forget that everything we can produce in this country at a reasonable cost gives us lower unemployment and an exceptionally strong economy. Unreasonable environmental rules sell out the national interest (and security) by making any harvesting of our natural resources (timber, oil, steel, etc, etc) less than cost effective. This drives up imports and lowers our econoomic strength (and security) as a country all in the name of "saving" us from ourselves. [/QUOTE]
