More Environmental Garbage

You know what you never hear about anymore? The spotted owl. Remember the spotted owl? Remember how upset all the activists got about this bird? Well, guess what: after walling off millions of acres and putting an end to 22,000 lumber jobs in the Northwest, the spotted owl is still declining, and likely to become extinct anyway. It's being pushed out of its habitat by the barred owl, which is apparently better suited to survive.


Meanwhile, the timber industry now imports a great deal of its wood from foreign countries that don't have such environmental restrictions. Yes, thanks to the Audobon society playing Gaia, the United States is importing wood.


I give up. Wake me when the Visigoths arrive.
