Land owners are forest managers. You did not know that?

Update: The rules of the convention were that only delegates in the convention hall had the right to vote. It appears there were violations as well as other troubling things. Here are a few examples:
1) Evidence that people voted using the ap from Florida and Wisconsin.
2) Guest that were not delegates to the convention used the ap to vote.
3) Three of the 1st four county totals were tossed because they reflected an over-vote.
4) The business day ended without a quorum as the only basis to adjourn the convention.
5) Electronic voting left no trail or evidence of the vote.

This is the statement from Mr. Whatley after all that has transpired: "That election was done and final and will not be re-opened."

So much for transparency, righteousness and honor. This is a terrifying situation that leads me to a No Confidence conclusion.

This is great news. Mitt Romney is one of the worst traitors and Democrat collaborators in the US Senate. It looks like he will be gone in 2024 hallaluyah!

Your own response clearly suggests otherwise.

Most of this isn't actually true. The only reference listed that is real is the first one: NIH. If you click on it it says the vax is worth the risk. The remaining references are crackpot sites. There are no guarantees in life but the anti-vax hill is the dumbest hill to die on.

JS, the correct response is, oh crap, that stuff is still happening? What can I do?
Instead you post what you posted. Not only is Mr. Crow alive, but you're his best friend.

Forest managers are anybody that owns over 20 acres of woodland.

Why is everything so institutionalized for you Leftists?

Big Bob: Do you own 20 acres or more of woodland forest?

Some of the worst destroyers of forests in today's world are the green energy grifters. They do this multiple ways. They clear cut old growth forests in Canada and the US, including North Carolina to make wood pellets to fire "biomass" electric plants in Europe. These are often retired coal plants, and burning wood pellets generates more CO2 than burning coal for the same amount of electricity produced, but they call it "green energy" because it is "renewable". We have some "biomass" electric plants in the US, but most are in Europe. It is just American and Canadian trees that are firing those plants in Europe.

Then there is the clear cutting of forests to actually build the "solar farms" and "wind farms". To look at just one example here. A request under the UK's equivalent of the Freedom of Information Act to Foresty Scotland produced not only documents but an official calculaton by that government agency of how many trees had been cut down in Scotland for wind farms on public land. This did not include pribate land deforestation or any of the solar farms. They calculated that 13.1 million trees had been cut down just of public land to build wind farms in Scotland. Wind and solar are very land intensive and forest loss to build these facilities worldwide is huge.

Then there is the blades for the wind turbines. The core of these is balsa wood which is light and strong, which is covered with resins. The source of the balsa wood is the Amazon rain forests, called "the lungs of the planet" which is being clear cut for balsa wood to make wind turbine blades.

It is rare that a new wind or solar farm is built in Germany without local environmentalists suing to stop it, arguing that it will lead to deforestation, loss of wildlife habitat, slaughter of birds and bats, and other environmental harm. Many of those lawsuits are succesful in stopping wind and solar farms. Last year, the German courts, for example, ruled with local enviornmentalists to prohibt a wind energy company from clear cutting the ancient forest that was the setting for the Grimm Fairy Tales.

Wind energy companies are also bad about water pollution. A wind project in Scotland was fined 5 million euros for a massive fish kill that their water pollution was responsible for, and in Ontanio Canada, four wind energy companies have been indicted for multiple criminal felonies for polluting the ground water. As a result of their pollution, water in one district in Ontario was so toxic people were told not only not to drink it or cook with it but not to even bathe in it.

Margaret Thatcher hit the nail on the head when she said "the problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other peoples money".

Simplicity does appeal, but I don't know anyone who would agree forest management is "simple". That's just politics.
