- I have already posted at least three times:
-
- Mt. Graham is a very important from a biological standpoint being the
- southernmost intact Spruce-Fir forest and is home to at least eighteen
- endemic plant and animal species, including the Mt. Graham Red Squirrel
- (currently listed as "threatened". Mt. Graham (or Dzil nchaa sm `n) is
- also the most sacred mountain of the San Carlos Apache Tribe.
-
- This very clearly and concisely states the reasons for which I (and I
- assume many others) are involved in this issue. If you need more
- details, please either reread the original posts or write/call Save
- America's Forests at (202)
- 544-9219, as they have reams of information on the issue.

- Maybe, then, you should attempt to gather information before splashing
- an opinion all over the place that is obviously a gut reaction to the
- myth, "It is in the name of Science, so therefore it is good." I would
- hope that in the future you might be able to wait until you have SOME
- information before you react.
