Poor Hippies

[logging22]

Hippies. Wipe with plastic and live in mud huts. Dont take a bath because it may upset the natural order of things. Wonder if they know how many products they do use that come from trees in one way or the other.:censored: a bunch of hippies.

I hate to use a Hitler reference but... he should have set his sights on tree huggers.

Did you just call me a Nazi?

 

[Meadow Beaver]

Not unless you want to be one.

 

[logging22]

Cop out. I have an opnion, and you dont like it. Fine with me.

 

[Meadow Beaver]

I never said that I don't like your opinion, I'm not sure where you got that idea. Just agreeing with ya

It's the same thing here. We don't see the protesters and organized demonstrations like there used to be.

The anti-logging people have gotten political. Lawsuits, injunctions issued by sympathetic judges, negative public comment on THPs, and appeals to all the public agencies involved in logging that are scared of offending the tree huggers have taken the place of outright public demonstration.

At least the demonstrators were up front and in your face. I didn't agree with anything they were trying to accomplish but they had the guts to stand right up and tell you where they stood and what they believed in. Now the sneaky *******s hide behind attorneys and preservationist groups to further their agenda...and they're good at it.

No joke Bob. . . My old man worked for the FS in the 70's. He said he worked with a bunch of dirty hippies -- they were real open with him on their agenda.

They told him they'd start off as grunts and work their way to the top, then they could effect real change by being FS big-dogs'. Once in high positions, they could close/gate roads, make kelly-humps, tank traps, reclaim roads, and make it real hard for loggers to work.

40 years later, and looky what has happened.

Speaking of Hitler, he used environmental issues to help springboard himself into power. He was all about the Earth, and making sure us humans didn't hurt it.

The resulting legislation, rules, regs, etc gave him more control over the natural resources of Germany.

True fax.

Wonder if the plants they smoke scream too!

A better ending to the video would be a large widowmaker falling on them.

That's pretty much what happened, except a few of them who are somewhat intelligent figured out that they could increase their power base by leverage "select" logging sales and pat the backs of good old boys in the community. I know several reformed environmentalists that traded their Birkenstocks and dredlocks for a big house on the hill and a Lexus SUV.

Yup, which tells ya what kind of people they really are.

Even if I don't agree with someone, but they stand firm on their convictions, I respect them.

Kinda reminds me of the FOB (Friends of the Bitterroot) that went to a local mill here in the mid 90's and wanted to buy some lumber to improve her large wood framed and sided home up in the hills...anyhow, the mill owner knew who she was and refused to sell to her. When she asked why???He just smiled and pointed to the tree covered mountains and said "see all of those trees on that mountain"? "There is your lumber! Go and Get it". Of course that mill shut down not long after that, but I would have loved to have seen her face

That would have been awesome to see. . . Friends of the Bitterroot I am very familiar with. . . We have about 20 greenie groups up here too.

They should all be shipped to the moon. . . No trees there for us to cut, so they'd be happy there.

 

[BlueRidgeMark]

Serious? There are people out there like this?!

Yes, there are. This should scare you. Serious? VERY. These people are INSANE. They are not just mistaken, they are disconnected from reality.

These folks have killed before, and they will kill again.

I mean kill, as in, MURDER. People.

Culls

They are here too, bigtime, actually, sad to say, they have won. All they do is stop everything, be it logging, mining, whatever. Communities are decimated, families have to move, business is destroyed or forced to downsize. And they want the government to spend more money on all kinds of things. Where does the money come from? Culls.

Hippies. I don't know where to begin.

I saw some protesting in front of Frank Riggs office in Eureka, I parked my beater pickup on the sidewalk and was running roughshod through them when one of Riggs' people came out and told me that they had just called the cops. I was invited in the front door, shook hands with the Congresscritter and was invited out the back door. This was prior to the infamous pepper spray incident.
