Stay away from lusting after minors. They don't call them jail bait for nothing....

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.

You need to join Charlie in getting out and around a bit.

Or, god forbid, he's actually being honest unlike Cheney who wasn't born
with that ability.

U'm not a particular fan of either GW or Cheney so it doens't make any
difference to me...or for that matter, Bill Clinton..I'm gonna jump on the
Ralph Nader bandwagon...


Well, that really was just a vote for the Bushco crowd last time.

True enough. I think we're not doing enough to help, but we're not doing it
directly, as Katy pointed out I believe.

No it was a vote for Nader. What is with Democrats saying that they didn't
so much lose to Bush as get screwed bby Nader. If the Dems could have gotten
a good strong candidate then they would have won the election. Instead they
choose these non-threatening kind of wussy little guys. Americans don't like
that. Americans like tough guys. As much of an Environmentalist as I am I
could not bring myself to vote for Kerry. He is too much of a giant "V" for
me. I don't think I am alone in this thinking. Democrats like that sort of
guy and so I will never be a Democrat.

This is unequivocal proof that you haven't a clue about tropical
rainforests.

CWM

In regards to growing new rainforests? Yes..in respect to keeping the
ones that exist...no....and you have no clue as to what I do or do not
know...


Chiming in from a timber farming area... New will never replace old growth in
our lifetimes. Here they get a marketable product about every 25-30 years.
These trees are a 1/5 of the size of "Old Growth". In the Rain forests the
indigenous tribes are split up and given christianity for hope...
Unbelievable. The animals are forced into ever confining spaces etc. No we
must just go ahead and enjoy what is left. I plan on using plenty of fossil
fuel and tossing my soda cans overboard (torn open of course). All is lost.
To late. Nothing left but discussion.


Animals adapt or disappear...natural selection...


You mean like passenger pigeons?

CWM


"The Passenger Pigeon is now extinct.


Yeah, the damned things couldn't adapt to being shot full of holes.
Adapt or disappear... natural selection.

You are living proof that evolution doesn't always work that well.

CWM

Humanity is proof of that...we keep finding more and more artificial
ways to keep ourselves going when we should just let oursleves go
naturally...

The major problem is that 3rd world nations want to rise and that the
only thing they have marketable to the world is their natural
resources...or tourism and that brings about a whole new host of
environmental ills...

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...
