=o= Yes, this worker was severely injured.  No, it has nothing
to do with any "psycho enviro."

=o= The worker himself does not blame environmentalists for this
injury, he blames the timber company who forced him to work with
unsafe, unshielded equipment.

=o= Furthermore, the timber in question was not logged from a
wilderness area.  It was not under environmental dispute.  The
attempt to link this incident with Earth First! was a dishonest
and cynical PR move by the timber industry.
