Our current "civilized" approach to the forest issue is anything but.

Tell me about this. I don't keep up with the news at all. I know that people holler at one another, and there are a lot of sarcastic remarks going on -- is that what you're talking about?

While citizens fight to save the last 5% of old growth and native forests for future generations, timber companies continue to mow them down.

Yes, they do. Why bother what's left of the old growth? There are plenty of other resources for lumber - there are managed forests, for consumers who think they need real wood. (Isn't it telling that they/we are called consumers? consume=eat) And there's recycled milk jug "lumber" that's just fine for decks and fences and plenty of other stuff.
