How so? We're polluting our environment by cutting down the forest and by
burning the vegatation. That produces greenhouse gasses, which contributes
to the global warming. In addition, the lack of trees reduces the possible
absorbtion of those very gasses.

Look it up if you're not too scared.

_We_ are not doing it. Greedy beef barons are doing it by giving the people
free chainsaws and rewarding them for cutting down trees so the former
forest becomes grassland before the topsoil finally goes. The mahogany
trees that are easy to move get to become fine furniture and boats. The
ones in difficult locations are burned or just left to rot.
I have seen students in Uk protesting that 'mahogany is murder' but they
have the wrong target. If you want to help the planet do not buy beef that
comes from Brazil.




And that includes Burger KIng!

I never can understand why the US has to import beef (except for the
political implications)...we need someone like Ronald Reagan and his
AMerica first ideals back in the WHite House...



Dead guys make lousy Presidents, although recently the minimum
standards for the job have been lowered substantially.
