- After all it is HIS land (or so he mentioned).. Would you have him have some
- kind of reforestation program and make him pay for it??

- But burning something other than Old Stand Hardwood would be nicer, but that is
- the problem with things.. To get less pollution, you burn hardwood, which is
- harder to replace. So you burn less hardwood, and you get highter cots and more
- pollution.. Catch 22 aint it.. God help you if you burn coal or fuel oil..
- (yes Im trying to correct my spelling errors).
