Over the past twenty plus years, I've seen the McDougall Brothers, frequently with partners, Greg Demers and Ed King, like Sherman thru Georgia, march through Lane County and Oregon, making millions and leaving a trail of destruction behind.  They started in the "extraction" industry and made millions. Then they discovered "development" and have combined the two into "extraction then development"...strip the land of all resources (look at the photo), then subdivide the carcass to make even more.  They break no "laws".....decency and consideration for neighbors are not encapsulated in the law.  They've all become extremely wealthy at, IMO, the cost of a lot of other people's misery.  
UCLA football coach Red Sanders (a comment later popularized by Vince Lombardi) famously said "winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."  For these guys, it seems MONEY isn't everything, it's the only thing."  That's sad for them and everyone they touch.  Gary Crum
