Oops! Via Josh Poulson, I got pointed to an article at Intellectual Conservative.

We must consider that the threats to the Spotted Owl ten years ago are not necessarily the same as the threats now. Nonetheless, at first glance it appears that we basically killed most of our domestic timber industry for something that wasn't their fault. This leaves completely aside the issue of whether it was the right thing to do even if the timber industry was the primary culprit, but if this is correct, that does not appear to be the case. Oops.

This oops didn't just hurt big business, by the way. It hurt a very large number of ordinary people. Think they'll forgive and forget if we give them a heartfelt apology? Somehow I doubt it.

Please be civil. Avoid profanity - I will delete the vast majority of it, usually by deleting the entire comment. To avoid comment spam, a comments account is required. They are freely available, and you can post comments immediately. Alternatively, you may use your Type Key registration, or sign up for one (They work at most Movable Type sites) All comments made are licensed to the site, but the fact that a comment has been allowed to remain should not be taken as an endorsement from me or the site. There is no point in attempting to foster discussion if only my own viewpoint is to be permitted. If you believe you see something damaging to you or some third party, I will most likely delete it upon request.
Logical failures (straw man, ad hominem, red herring, etcetera) will be pointed out - and I hope you'll point out any such errors I make as well. If there's something you don't understand, ask.
Nonetheless, the idea of comments should be constructive. Aim them at the issue, not the individual. Consider it a challenge to make your criticism constructive. Try to be respectful. Those who make a habit of trollish behavior will be banned.
