-Caveat Lector-
Remember that the U.S. Forest Service and the entire system of National
Forests were created by Teddy Roosevelt's Secretary of the Interior, Gifford
Pinchot, specifically to provide a reserve of wood *for the logging
industry* and secondarily for recreational hunting and fishing. The National
Forests were never intended to be preserved as wilderness. They were being
*conserved* as a national resource, in traditional Republican fashion. Thus
Pinchot, from the beginning, was at odds with the John Muir/Sierra Club
dedication to preserving wilderness for its own sake...

CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
