Comment re Lapoinya forest logging

People's level of care about a natural area is usually in proportion to how much time they have spent there. Those who have spent little or no time in an area shouldn't be involved in it's management. That's where our society gets it wrong. Having people in a distant city determine the fate of such an area is simply immoral. I have seen my own favourite forest destroyed by distant bureaucrats and I know how it feels. What is wrong is wrong, no matter how people like to spin these things.
