W Marks the Spot (This shows how sick we are)
There is an article written by Jeffrey St. Clair about the clearcutting of federal trees in Montana. It might be just another plunder story except it draws to an even more sickening last paragraph that explains the article tilte of "W Marks the Spot".

There's a final irony here. After learning of the preemptive targeting of the old-growth stands along the East Fork of the Bitterroot River, environmentalists went out to inspect the doomed groves for themselves. Usually, the condemned trees are marked with an X. Here in the Bitterroot, though, the Forest Service spray-painted the big, yellow-bellied Ponderosas, some more than 400 years old, with an all-too familiar brand: "W".
