Plus, when they blow things up in water - it will negatively impact the sea-creatures. We wouldn't want that to happen now, would we. . . That's just the way that region is - forever logjammed. . . . no big deal.

Where do you get your information? That's 400 miles from the ocean. And what logjams? There are no timber contracts up there. No commercial lumbering. And as far as a big deal, we're talking about several villages being wiped off the map here. Your compassion for sea creatures is misplaced, and your lack of compassion for fellow human beings is completely lacking.

Grow up.
