If only every white neighborhood saved a single tree then the world would be saved.

So we've established that you hate white people, and trees. And let me guess, you hate children too?

In a world where the average person thinks the Kyoto Protocol is a Japanese porn flick I don't think tree-spiking the neighborhood's willow tree is going to do much for saving the planet.

"The children are visibly upset" yes I am certain that it is due to the tree being felled and it has absolutely nothing to do with the neurotic whining of the "adults" involved.

It's not about the planet, it's about their backyard.

I'll concede your point about the kids, though. The parents are trying to teach them to care about this, but you can see it's a hard slog. There's hardly anything left in their neighborhood at all. I suspect like most kids they sit in front of the screen and don't play outside so it's not real for them.

I am the Borax, I speak for the honkies!
I have no real comment, beyond "those aren't condos, pal."

Spiking a tree just ruins it for lumber, it isn't going to stop them cutting it down. I know an arborist or two and a few nails are the least of your worries when you're cutting into a tree - there could be anything inside that thing.

...anything?

Your wildest dreams... OR nightmares...

Hate huggers, not the trees.
