    It’s interesting when you can find articles from some of these walking contradictions. I read a few articles by an anti-woke, pro-timber industry environmentalist a few weeks back and made a post about them. Reading them ticked me off so much, I revised my opinions on a lot of things I had been feeling mixed about. Hearing some pretty icky things in support of one side of the argument solidified that wasn’t the choice for me.

    The guy who wrote them has credentials that are legit. He’s been in the job and related ones forever, and he has lots of awards and commendations. I don’t think there’s any one of us though that hasn’t worked with someone that we wonder why they’re or how they’ve been promoted to where they are over the years. Just because someone has a job doesn’t always mean they’re good at it or that they should be doing it.

    The articles I shared are pretty thought provoking, for what I felt were bad reasons though, but if you’d like to read a conservative expert’s opinion on logging and what should be done with Spotted owls, it will really give you some things to think about.
