What Lignum said. :)
I do and so do alot of other people. Why is it that anyone in this country who disagrees with someone else on something and just happens to be passionate about same gets labeled as a "whinger" or a "greenie". Even if I don't agree with someone's opinion I respect their right to voice their opinions and if I "dont give a f*$^" about the issue then I don't get involved in the debate. It's amusing to note that people who use the latter expression actually DO "give a f*$^".....certainly enough to take the effort to read the posts in this discussion and reply with inane explitives.Quote:

I don't agree with locking up all the forests as National Parks but at the same time I find the current practises of clear felling of furniture grade wood for turning into chopsticks and loo paper disgustingly wasteful and bordering on criminal.
As far as the Tasmanian economy dying if they kill the timber industry (not what I'm in favour of).....look at the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand. Logging died in the ar*e there some years ago but the last time I was over there (2006) the economy of the area certainly hadn't died and was actually more vibrant and diversified if anything.
Just my ten cents worth.
