Link it then... all you are doing right now is blowing smoke and presenting ZERO fact, something you do quite well and often :roll:

Logging does not have to mean clear cutting. There are places where what the Forest Service calls "even aged silvicultural management" is appropriate, and places where it is not. What is not appropriate in the western conifer forests is simply leaving them alone and letting nature take over. That leads to overgrown forests and hot fires. Before we humans started messing around with the forests, small fires kept them clear of brush. Now, after years of fire suppression, small fires are no longer an option in most places.
