Ever been to an Australian wood-chip area? One thing you notice is the
trucks carrying native forest. The logs are absolutely huge compared to
the pathetic little matchsticks that are grown as tree crops. Why is this?
When companies like Gunns clear-fell they are removing an entire ecosystem
that is often centuries old. Of course this is impossible to recreate with
a monoculture growing in soils that by now have eroded and with a depleted
rainfall. The wood-chip industry is a crime against all Australians,
especially farmers and anybody on water restrictions. Recently Tasmanian
premier Paul Lennon appointed the man responsible for burning to death the
tallest hardwood tree on the planet as secretary of the Premiers
Department.

We learn nothing from history. The terrible thing is that someone on
Easter Island chopped down the last tree knowing it was the last tree
and the population then spend decades in war and starvation.

I their case it was all for the worship of their useless gods.
Remember religion poisons everything.

  And in AmeriKKKa it is due to the worship of the God of Money.
