Maybe you are reading too much High Country News? You and I are both journalists,too, in that we write journals. I don’t know if my head is completely up my Beautiful Underlying Treed Terrain, but I am willing to consider it may be. Perhaps we have been brainwashed by the mining industry? Maybe everything we write about is contrite and biased in favor of the big cog?

All I know is that when it comes to economic sustainability in Colorado, I don’t think we are going to make much headway without embracing our large industries, and that means mining, petroleum, and forestry.

BTW — their editor has yet to get back to me.

Thank you,

Michele

Please don’t hold your breath while waiting for some journalist to present a fair and balanced story on mining, forestry, land fills, clean water, clean air, or any other topic. Most journalists, print or network, have an inflated ego and actually believe that their reporting is correct, even when it’s obvious they know nothing of the subject. The nation needs journalists like submarines need screen doors.
