Fortunately we had the 70s and 80s to eliminate roads, mills and timber - giving us plastic instead

To the Editor:
 
WE FAILED TO SAY, "THANK YOU" TO THE 70'S COLLEGITS. As an Oregonian please allow me to 'Thank' these persons.

Had it not been for the 70's & 80's movement we would still be stuck with the awful logging companies, roads that sectioned off the timberlands, men whose livelihood depended upon the harvesting and replanting of real trees and roads to protect the trees from fire.  Thanks for ripping out the roadways that protected these forests from fire, leaving animals and birds to be incinerated while people climbed the trees in protest of their being cut thus eliminating the cumbersome income that fed us, paid for our Children's education, family farms that fed us with beef, fresh veggies, Dairy Producers of milk and cheeses and stopped cold the small towns thus ending generations of sawmills that built these towns with our once great natural resources.

Yes, I am so thankful that we no longer need those unnecessary natural resources as now we have plastic everything.  Plastic that now cannot be eliminated from our rivers, streams, oceans and soil.  Our sea life, water fowl, animals and our personal health is in extreme danger from your foolishness and while your yelling about global warming think about this; these are the very same God given natural resources that you've prevented from use through moratoriums and foolish laws, your EPA's and your DEQ's and your 'green' law suits.

We are as a Nation paralyzed as you disallow our natural resources while our marvelous Congress and House just keep messing around playing 'political games! '  I call shame on each and every one of you with your single digit popularity. 
 
LET OUR PEOPLE GO AND WE WILL SHOW YOU AMERICAN INGENUITY, TRUE ENTERPRISE AND INDUSTRY WHILE WE TAKE OUR NATION FORWARD WITH TRUE EMPLOYMENT AND COMMON SENSE.
