Exactly.
If, while the city of you gene was interfering with the free trade by
mandating that sani- offer curbside recycling, they had also mandated
that any paper company doing business in the area had to guarantee that
all their products contain a minimum of post-consumer content from the
local waste paper stream, then we'd have seen a leveling rather than a
slanting of the field. But no. (From the dialectic, wymaraner no doubt
would have brought in their big guns to defeat any such mandate--but it
would have been nice if eugene had even thought to try it).
I don't know if you've flown recently between Alaska and the lower 48
on a clear day, but what's being done to the B.C. forests should be a
Class A Felony. Gigantic clear-cuts right down to the shoreline. It's
mining, not forestry.
Always kinda sickened me how the beauty of canada has not seemed to
translate into its politics and business.
