20. The Headwaters

I switch to the local news on channel six. Mary Jean McDolittle is saying, "Below the Belt Lumber Company is planning on logging The Headwaters Forest, the very last refuge for wildness. This plan has been signed by the governor, but radical pacifist-activists have put their heads together and used their long hair to blockade all access to the trees. This has protected the forest for the time being, but -- there are rumors afloat of BBL having purchased a large pair of pruning shears . . ."
