I've dealt with FSC Certification as part of an industry that uses lots of wood, and I haven't been super-impressed with the process.

It seems like in these efforts, there is a real "fox guarding the hen house" problem, since the funding for certification comes from clients who want to be certified, and the standards are vetted by the industry itself, meaning that anything they view as financially burdensome is subject to veto.

I guess what I'm asking is this:

Is what you're doing legitimate, or is this cover in the guise of self-regulation, with the goal being to avoid more stringent regulations from governmental organizations?

Thanks for doig this AMA; look forward to your response.

The house guest on the floor.

The hole in the screen door.

Redman is my hero just because of that show. It was a beautiful "Fuck You" to the unrealistic excesses and conspicuous consumption that so many rappers were trying to push at the time...

I'll love him forever for that.

Also, he jumped into a crowd off of a 15' high speaker tower when he did a free show here, so...clearly a fearless dude.

They missed each other by just one day.

Maybe next 4th of July, they could do a joint AMA.

I think the user base of this forum could provide the White Man element.

First off, thanks for your reporting. I love the work you guys are doing at The Times.

My question: What do you think should be done when these graves are discovered?

Like, say it's private property. What obligation does the landowner have to either not develop/remove development etc?

Who pays? Is this a local gov't issue? State?

I understand that you are simply bringing these issues to light and it'snot really your purview to decide how they're handled, but I imagine that you've heard discussions about what happens next, and I'm interested to know what you think.

Thanks!
