"Here's a simple question for you. Will a profit motivated company manage the forest in a natural state? It's a simple question. I have a feeling you won't answer it honostly due to you singlemindedness but who cares."--hillbilly

what is this natural state you speak of? Seriously, you want to take man out of the equation, man has always used the forest for his needs from food to shelter needs to fuel needs

there is no natural state when you remove man, the dominant species on the planet.

Now are you going to answer my question or are you going to sit there and grandstand?

Is man a part of the natural world or did we fly in here on space ships?

Frankly, selective logging has been going on since man found a forest. It is no different now.
