Interesting. Thanks. The language used to justify this cut is definitely Orwellian; they would call all of this "good stewardship", the erosion, the rutted logging roads, the brush accumulation, the acres of stumps, all of it. 

In a lot of ways, the Goose Project--which is the first conflict like this I've seen close up since I moved here in June--is typical of neoliberalism: private profits at public expense.
