I heard while doing post-grad work at UO 3PM Dept. 30 years ago a professor quoting a study finding that, based on prior decades, a correlation could be shown between a rise in logger use of meth and the rise in wife and child abuse (_meth kills_ an old warning aka speed).

It was as simple as this: when logging jobs went down, abuse increased and when logging was up, there was reduced spouse and child abuse. Batter the forest ... or if job opportunities are down... your spouse and kids. Sheesh, that was one of the most frightening studies I had ever heard this professor discuss.

Perhaps it should be required that loggers study and apprentice in sustainable forestry before learning how to use a chainsaw or greenchain. Scars that they leave otherwise may be more than those left on the  health of the forest and wildlife inhabitants.

I recall Ent-wives in Lord of the Rings: female trees pulled up roots and moved because male trees did not know how to treat them....
