It should have included a few more notable scoundrels (we have them in B.C., too). Premier Gordon Campbell of B.C. is just waiting on the sidelines for an opportunity to kiss Georgie's butt. He'll sell all of B.C. for an chance to rub shoulders with the devil. |

I'm STILL waiting to see any sign of a brain lurking under that blonde hair. I hear he was educated south of the parallel; maybe that accounts for some of his attitudes, if not for his lack of nous. He and his fellow-"liberals" will soon have all of the family silver sold off---and where will BC get it's "surplus" then? Maggie Thatcher must be his role model---- |

From: Little Hawk If a tree falls in America, it will have been cut down secretly by or with the complicity of the Bush administration...and then blamed on "foreign terrorists". (Probably foreign terrorists "alleged" to be operating from Iran, Syria, or the next likely target of opportunity.) |

04 Dec 04 - 10:56 PM (#1347735) Subject: RE: BS: If a tree falls in America... From: mg if it from a managed forest, several more will be planted. But, if it is in a housing area, it is almost surely lost for the foreseeable future. That is where the main problem is, and where environmentalists really need to focus...lots of trees are cut down needlessly and topsoil just bulldozed, not because bulldozers have to have it that way, but there is just a feeling that they do. I have seen bulldozers stop on a dime and they can leave trees standing quite easily. It is more a culture that has been accepted by too many people for too long. Some cities are calculating the worth of trees, I think Bellevue, WA is one, and taxing for their replacement. Hope to see more of that. mg |

05 Dec 04 - 03:42 AM (#1347810) Subject: RE: BS: If a tree falls in America... From: Boab Mary---may I suggest [meekly!] that there is no such thing as a "managed " forest. You may have a manmade woodlot. Those who replant clearcuts [and they are right to do so] don't pay any attention to what truly makes a forest--mushrooms, groundcover, the forest fauna, and many other forest characteristics. A tree plantation, yes. A forest? No. |

05 Dec 04 - 01:43 PM (#1348090) Subject: RE: BS: If a tree falls in America... From: Metchosin Agreed Boab, not to mention the practise of monoculturing and the limiting of genetic diversity within seedlings by preselecting those primarily based on fibre production and rapid growth. Mother nature recognizes the value of a diverse gene pool in the grand scheme of things. Those involved in silviculture often view the value of a tree only within an industrial economic parameter. |

05 Dec 04 - 05:21 PM (#1348220) Subject: RE: BS: If a tree falls in America... From: Coyote Breath Until Mary mentioned it I had forgotten a terrible sight I saw recently here in Franklin county (Missouri). Someone, in order to build their HUGE pseudo-Victorian, 5,000+ square foot mansion, had an entire five acres of hardwood woods obliterated by bulldozer. They wanted to have a "clear view" of the far Ozark ridges receeding to the South. Now everyone in THIS part of the county has a "clear view" of their ego trip and the needless devastation. A tax? What a GREAT idea!! CB PS from what I can see they are going to plant grass so they can ride around on their mower (causing further pollution) during the summer, keeping their new "lawn" golf course trim. I must meet these people if only to find out just what sort of morons they ARE! |

05 Dec 04 - 11:55 PM (#1348517) Subject: RE: BS: If a tree falls in America... From: mg people should have to pay through the yingyang to cut down standing trees, at least all of them..thinning should be OK...and if they do urban reforestation, with approved species, they should get tax breaks..actually they should have teams of people out knocking on doors and asking for permission to plant trees on private property. Lots of people would say yes. There is a section of Aurora Ave. on Seattle, which in general could be the poster child for urban ugliness (exceeded by Northgate parking lot), which has been made beautiful by some flowering cherries..you don't even notice the car lots or whatever is there. I am also passionate about parking lots being the disaster they are. They should be planted at least 10% with trees or bushes...that would produce a lot more shade and people would be yapping about leaves falling on their cars so leave a section for the crybabies and proceed with vigor. mg |

07 Dec 04 - 12:52 AM (#1349606) Subject: RE: BS: If a tree falls in America... From: Coyote Breath I might just get my "wish" about meeting these tree whackers. It seems that a place I go here in my semi-rural little town has become quite popular with the cream of our limited society. It sells 45 different beers, ales, stouts and porters, many imported (and local wines). It is also a venue for acoustic musicians. I think the culprits have discovered it. I am going to ask them point blank why they destroyed the trees. CB |
