i'm appalled to hear politicians in maine speaking of environmentalists as the worst possible thing for a forest.

this partnership between the nature conservancy and the great northern paper company is not only saving jobs for people that like to cut down trees, it's saving the trees at the same time. yet, some locals feel that this is a terrible thing.

millinocket's town manager eugene conlogue is afraid putting that much land in the hands of the environmentalists will end up in something awful like a state park. the nature conservancy's plan allow for sustainable foresting of the region, meaning the paper companies and paper mills still have access to the natural resources and the foresting is managed so that those resources have time to be replenished. what could possibly be bad about this?

hear the story and let me know what you think.

TAG!

you're it!

probably the most important thing i've learned about culture since being in dallas:

shopping at walmart is a low-class experience primarily for teen-age unwed mothers;

shopping at target is thrifty common-sense for the well-to-do.

luke wilson stared at me all through lunch today. he had that "hey, don't i know you?" look on his face the whole time.

ever since i sold him two pairs of socks, the guy's been following me everywhere. i figure it's about time for us to sit down and have a little chat. hash things out as it were. it's not that i don't think we would make a good team. i'm sure that we could be great friends once we got to know each other. we just need to get past this awkward "chance meeting" acquaintance we have and finally define this relationship.

let's do this thing, luke.

kevin's going to be here tomorrow.

he'd like to see you.

email me if you'd like to get together with us saturday night.

that is all.

it's just my opinion....

it is a forum that is useful for self-expression. this can manifest itself as poetry, ranting, referencing, or just plain chedder on white. using it in a manner that can hurt another person is not fair or valid.

sometimes i believe we just have to keep our keyboards quiet and mumble under our code.
