Huh?! Washington State's economy devastated by protecting old growth forests? That is some crazy stuff Mr. Germond is smoking if he thinks Washington suffered any long-term negative impacts from the Northwest Forest Plan. In fact, the effect has been just the opposite. Washington has one of the most resilient economies in the country because of its diversity. High-wage industries have been attracted to Washington in large part because of the state's natural amenities — like intact ecosystems. This would not have happened had the “poor, bitter folks” like Mr. Germond been allowed to continue to devastate our public forests. The old rape-and-pillage mentality of the last century is dying out. Time for folks that will actually care for creation to take over — not just pay it lip service.
