Horse hockey. Big steaming piles of it.
After all, if the spotted owl goes away permanently, then there's no reason why the government wouldn't then surrender and say, "Go ahead and plunder all the old timber areas. Nothing there worth keeping now, is there?" And since any attempt to reassign the land would eventually wind up as some sort of federal issue, it's much more likely that they'd get a sympathetic view from George II Fraudulency's administration, now isn't it? (And if the people of Washington state let the low tax idiots have their way, the pressure to allow logging to make up for lost state and local revenues will be even more intense.)
