Saving Seas, Trees
There were two articles printed recently that seem to represent, sadly, the shortsighted vision of our nation.
In one, even after the irreversible damage caused by the oil spill off Huntington Beach, President Bush sees no reason to prevent oil drilling off our California coast.
The other article related that in Northern California, the Pacific Lumber Co. has no qualms about felling 2,000-year-old redwood trees.
Do the people involved in these two incidents have no feeling for history; for the eons of time the beaches and redwoods have survived; for the enormity of what they have done or propose to do?
