Mother Nature will also do a restoration, which is not to say that most
logging is properly done- since most of it isn't. But, even some properly
done logging will look that atrocious in the short term. But, if done
correctly, the healing will be quick- if done wrong, the healing will take
centuries.

So, the REAL issue, isn't that some logging looks ugly as sin. The real
issue is that the logging was carried out by honest and competent foresters
who are trained to know what the results will be, how the land will respond,
and who understand the economics of the project- the LONG TERM economics-
including present externalities, i.e., costs not generally accounted for to
be paid for by the public- and including some positive benefits also not put
into the accounting equation.
