Don't be dense, Zorzin.  Of course it was a forest, it was just a 
thousand miles north of its current location.  Los Angeles was the last 
generation's answer to the question of what to do with all those trees.

The same applies.  The biggest threat to forests is urban sprawl.  If it 
weren't for San Francisco hot tubs, nobody would be interested in a bunch 
of redwoods in the back country.  FYI, that's the reason Headwaters is 
still there.  It wasn't worth logging until now.

You really gotta get out more.  I know you don't care what happens to the 
trees you sell, but that level of obliviousness is truly astonishing.  
Where do you put your forest on the Right Coast after you cut them down?
