was our governor and said the following to get (or keep) the support of the lumber companies.

"A tree is a tree. How many more do you have to look at?" -- Ronald Reagan, 1966, opposing expansion of Redwood National Park as governor of California. I already knew he was an a-hole (I couldn't vote yet, you still had to be 21 back in the day and I was only 16), but that comment sealed it.

Reagan was only elected because of an illegal operation eventually known as Iran-Contra. Like Bush the Lesser, Reagan's administration began with an act of treason.
