You've been conditioned to think of forest preservation means preserving the 
lumber industry, Weary. Until you update your antiquated views, I expect 
you'll remain confused about the new AMC and pro-lumber politicians like Baldacci. 
You've been conditioned to parrot the common fallacy that the only alternative 
to continued economic exploitation is "condominiums." You need to stop 
pretending that a National Forest or a new Baxter-style State Park are some of the 
many other ways that the Maine North Woods might actually be Preserved.
