And why shouldn't we kill them? They're trying to kill us.

When I was little we asked my grandmother what happened to her father. He said, "A tree fell on him and he died." Years later, we found that there was a decade or so between those two events. Still -- damn trees!

She said, dammit. Hit the "post" button by mistake. By the way, I never knew his name. I little googling turned up the obituary of one of Grandma's (six) sisters. His name was Fred.

For they passed a noble law,
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw.

Posted by: Ken S, Fifth String on the Banjo of Life at January 25, 2008 08:17 AMPerhaps I should apologize as I've said, on occasion, when people really frustrated me:
"Evolution should just do away with people and start intelligent life over again, maybe with the trees."
I really didn't expect the disembodied non-existent anthropomorphized Spirit of Evolution to actually listen to me. Especially since I don't think such a thing exists.
