John may have been drinking the koolaid if he thinks "control" isn't the impetus for the Wild Olympics proposal.  But it's not the loggers and landowners he needs to fear.  Wild Olympics seeks to hand over control of the peninsula to state agencies, with their close ties to environmental groups that just love to strut their stuff with public lands.  Deep down they want less human interaction with "Wild" lands, not more freedom, just look at the Federal lands the environmentalists have gained control over and the litany of weird regs they have imposed on them.  Please John, think this through a bit...  there are already plenty of protections in place, giving more control to government will NOT improve the or save any more of the Olympics than are already protected, what it will do is remove our local control and hand it over to state agencies, and their environmental pals just salivating to put regulation on our good lands.
