Kill the trees!

Let the Sun Shine In! (Via Instapundit - note that the SJMerc story linked by Instapundit requires registration but I think the CocoTimes link doesn't)

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

Damn trees! all they do is pollute and cause smog.

The CoCo Times link required registration for me.

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!

He said, "A tree fell on him...

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.

Now there's no redwood oppression,
For they passed a noble law,
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw.

(with apologies to Rush - the band, not the fat guy)

I wonder what Treebeard would say about this...

Perhaps 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.

Typical Sunnyvalians, trying to be like Paloaltoonians they get the smug part wrong. No bamboo flooring in the green eco-sensitive kitchen makeover for you!

I had to register at the Times, too, but there's a plethora of paswords at bugmenot.com.

I like it when the envirowackos get their hemp-tied ponytails all wadded up.

Kill the redwoods, let Lowe's and Home Depot and Tim Allen sort 'em out.
