I agree with you on both counts.  Ctors are an excellent way of 
implementing dependency injection, and static methods aren't.

However loggers are more of an aspect than a dependency.  Absent some 
other framework (AOP, for example, or some sort of annotation 
processing), good old frameworks and libraries solve this problem.  Have 
a look at Apache logging:
