Thanks .. and people can do their own research on this .. on the Net

by researching news articles and such. They should not just take the

word of those who write against the use of these oils for the reasons

we have already heard .. many of those people simply parrot others

who have an agenda and its NOT always about saving the Rain Forests.

In many cases its an attempt to promote themselves or to have nice

warm feelings because they are doing something .. at least .. for

their fellow human beings .. and the environment.

 

Such issues are not simple .. an economist could list more variables

in the problem area than most people have considered. It is not

unlike the issue of use of fossil fuels .. which obviously harms the

environment and helps to fund Islamic Terrorism as well as promote

Putinism .. or the sale of tobacco products that have their own list

of problems. When someone take a broad sweep at combating many

environmental problems they are not going to have the time to become

knowledgeable on any of those problems.

 

I would not begin a search using Rosewood as the key word .. I would

use Rain Forests .. or Brazil .. or whatever. Then we can get the

picture from a different angle. I have few articles that might help

and will send them later .. gonna hit the rack now.

 

I had many years of training and experience in analyzing political -

military issues and I became proficient at identifying causes and

effects .. but there is nothing special about that .. most people

could do the same in a short time .. but even the most experienced

specialists rarely can pin down acceptable solutions to problems

identified. Look at the positions of various presidential candidates

and we can get a feel for that. ;-)

Yep .. it might have a tad to do with their personal interpretation

of what Political Correctness is all about .. or a need to be all

they can be. I believe folks should do what they think is right ..

long as they don't criticize me and mine for not jumping too. ;-)

Sho'nuf is .. and its how Martin and I get along. ;-)

They do .. and there are major information clearing houses .. like

David Cookson Company .. these folks follow the futures of oils.

 

> Anyone have an idea how to get their hands on this kind of homework?

 

The research I mentioned above can help if one approaches it with an

open mind.

 

The latest from Cookson .. on Rosewood they write: " Getting ongoing

detailed information regarding production and deliveries remains one

of our biggest problems (the other being the hurdles created by

IBAMA.)

 

> Thanks again, Butch.

 

Welcome fer'shur.

Y'all keep smiling. :-)
