OSU Student's Forestry Research

This has been one hell of a week-end for news and there are three items that really got me frosted on Saturday Morning. I will list them here and give you my responses as the day progresses.

Firstly, OSU researcher defends forest findings was an article that appeared in the Oregonian by michael milstein (michaelmilstein@news.oregonian.com)

I wrote the following letter to Rep. Brian Baird:

U.S. Representative Brian Baird-D-Wash.

Dear Rep Baird,

Subject: OSU Student's Forestry Research

Who are you to question a researcher’s research? Are you among those that believe that Government funded research ought to conclude what it is the Government wants to hear?

The questions you are asking of the researcher are those that ought to be asked by the publisher of the journal to whom the paper was submitted. I doubt very much that the researcher had an axe to grind although it is obvious that you do have an interest in what the research didn’t support.

I commend the young man for even coming to answer your slanted questions. Could you stand up to that sort of questioning?

Peace,


My second item were the articles written about the shooting in Roseburg.

And thirdly was the nerve of Paul Allen to ask for the city's help in paying for the Blazers.
