You protesters are all the same. Where do you think toilet paper comes from?

Loggers are some of the most environmentally responsible people in the world. They have a unique knowledge of the forest and how best to maintain it . Their work prevents overburden of the forest. (Fires use to do the job, but now we put them all out in order to protect homes)

Loggers.... Working their ass of so you can wipe yours!

look at the boundry waters canoe area in minneasota, they wouldnt allow logging there or engines at all. a massive storm knocked down all the big pines and they still wouldnt allow loggers in, THATS a waste and a huge fire hazard

@1overthehillsfaraway  I have spent my life in a remote part of the world - The Yukon, an area of almost pristine Boreal forest. I worked in Forest Fire Management and I am intimately aware of the life cycle and health of a living, vibrant forest. I also am able to see past societal conditioning and manufactured economics (resources). That said, I am also very aware of our direct role and responsibility for the use of forest products. It is not an easy situation that we find ourselves today...

Yah well, who cares about that? You would do the some thing if in his position. Most tree huggers are from the city and don't actually know ANYTHING about the forest and how it grows or what it takes to maintain its health. Loggers, farmers, real hard working Americans that have to face the reality of rural life and keep this country running... this is what life is about, not some alternate reality city folks live in because they are so out of touch.

Man, you wanna stop logging, go out and camp in the forest and MURDER LOGGERS. What about all of the valuable forest area taken up by your shopping malls? Talk about forest management, start taking a sledge hammer to your sidewalks! All Y'all environmentalists bitch about them cutting down the rainforest in foreighn countries, or in different places in your country, but when it comes to deforestation in your own back yard, that's just business. It's just their job!  Man's GOTTA WORK!

[mackawack12346]

they gotta work because work is so fucking important! employment is valuable, you're contributing to society? Fuck that shit, know why work is importanat, so other fucks don't have to! You're being exploited and by defending loggers you only allow the corporate elite to maintain it's choke hold and repeatedly slam americans' heads into the dirt!

@prmccormick yes he did answer your question- he MAY NOT have liked his task BUT he provided for his families survival

[prmccormick]

I once spoke with a logger who had stated that he had just cut down a tree that was here probably at the time of Jesus. I asked how that made him feel - to cut a tree so ancient. He told me that he worked for the company and was told what trees to cut. He said that if he wanted to work, pay for his family's need to live, then he cut the tree marked. Then he said, "If it isn't me, then someone will cut it." He never answered my question.
