Regarding Pat Franklin's "call to arms" to reveal distored truths paraded
as free speech: Go back to yesterday's (6/9/99) GreenYes and read David
Wood's piece about the children's book "Let's Talk About Clear Cutting."
(You can view the book at
http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/forestry/Clearcut/main.htm).
Here's a perfect example of money trying to form public opinion, and in
this incidious case, it's brainwashing our children. ONe of my favorite
quotes from that book is the one that say clearing land means it will be
used for another purpose, but clearcutting means that a new forest will begin.
Activists must never be caught sleeping!
