NEED YOUR HELP - Protect our National Forest Lands, send an e-mail!!

Alex I'm so glad you are for the saving of our national forest that are around you but I guess once it comes to something you can't see..Alaska... then I guess you just don't care. By the way my name is Chuck and not trigger....if you're too busy to find out who you are addressing your thread to then maybe you should just keep it to yourself.

No need to get mad Chuck everyone gets an opinion in america. I'm going to have to say supporting the selling of the land is a horrible idea, I don't care what its usefulness is or whats around it. Its a matter of making it easier for them to sell land in other places that we do want. The problem is that here on the east coast people dont care about their natural resources as much. If we allow them to do it it just lends support for the next time they want to sell land. Out west this would have already been protested and litigated and shot down probably. Thats why we need to support it, not for its usefulness in modern forestry or camping.

Chuck, i was not trying to attack your opinion. You just seemed to come across very brash about what you felt was the right way and the way you were planning on taking action, wanting to drive up there kickin' ass and takin' names. I just had a different opinion. I do want to save our resources whether it be here, Alaska or the amazon. I also don't understand how you came to the conclusion that since i can't "see" alaska then i don't care? Doesn't make any sense. Also don't see how you felt like i was supposed to search out your name to respond to your opinion? also doesn't make sense. But i will agree with you that i want to preserve our resources so we can enjoy them responsibly with our families and cruisers. Didn't mean to piss you off Chuck, but opinions are like assholes, everybody has one.

kinda off topic, but can you imagine IF, and that's a really big IF, drilling were to occur in Alaska and it was performed in the most environmentally coincous (sp?) way, the amount of trails and access roads that would be there for cruiserheads to explore?

I think Clemson55 got exactly what my main issue is. I just think once they get their foot in the door to sell, even a square foot of our forests, that's moving in the wrong direction. And once they start moving, it's tough to stop.
