I was glad to read, just to the right of the link called “Maine Drain” in the online Bangor Daily News, that the Hollyweird celebrities all support a national park in the Maine woods. Certainly, we must do everything we can to end the privately owned forests that I enjoyed visiting before I moved to Wisconsin. I remember constantly wishing for the onerous regulations that saddle public lands in the other 49 states.

Let’s just pray that the people remember that this bunch was so correct about the war in Iraq. It’s certain they are just as correct about the Maine woods.
