To true, Larry. After growing trees for 80 years, they are, _by
governmental decree_ clearcut. That's a great way to inspire people to
grow trees for the future.


If I inherited a bunch of 80 year old timber, I wouldn't need a
government decree to clear cut it. By the time trees get that old, it's
time to sequester all that carbon in manufactured wood objects, and
replant.
