Dear f108,
Welcome to Free Republic.
Clovicide, a beautiful word
are your poems posted anywhere?
Trisham, thank you. God bless you and bring peace to all.
Dear toast,
The EPA in Chicago before the Bush regime.. provided
support briefs for those courtchallenging unconstitutional
ordinances.
in a FREE REPUBLIC, no one is ordered to mow down nature
http://www.ran.org
Why don't you just live in an apartment? No grass, no mowing.
Petronski, Justice William O Douglas wrote a brief
that trees have standing. Many others have amplified
this theme. Centenarian trees have rights in the UK.
There is no logging in Thailand.

Actually Petronski deserves the credit for "Clovicide" My coined phrases include such classics as "Islamderthal" and "the Cindy Al Sheeham diet".
The problem is that it is in many areas a law
that if you don't mow your lawn, the city
comes in and mows it, then bills you for it.
One man in Lawrence Kansas took a pellet gun to
the local gendarmes for this.
A word of advice: it's not great for your credibility to link to a site that sells books comparing poultry farms to the Holocaust. 'Specially not on your first day.
Tell that to the people of Ohio.
buh-bye...
Not to mention ticks like high grass. To control tick population experts stress the need to mow your lawn.
in regards to controlling rainfall, the average mature
tree evaporates 36 to 45 gallons of water daily, creating
mist which becomes clouds and then rain.
One of the chief factors in the making of the Sahara
Desert (it wasn't created that way) was Roman tree felling
for their ships, as the cedars of Lebanon were felled
for Solomon's temple (perhaps it would have lasted had
it been made of stone)
Most of them are out standing in their fields!
Plants' rights?
You must have the IQ of a cucumber.
Apparently the fruit doesn eat anything.
No, it's not a parody, but a serious response to the
flood, famine, desertification, deforestation,
and ugliness created by the unprecedented destruction
of green leaves in the world.
A Matter of MethodA Philosopher seeing a Fool beating his Donkey, said:
“Abstain, my son, abstain, I implore. Those who resort to violence shall suffer from violence.”
“That,” said the Fool, diligently belabouring the animal, “is what I’m trying to teach this beast - which has kicked me.”
— Ambrose Bierce, Fantastic Fables.
The P.A.E.F (People against eating fruits would like a word with you)
You abuser! Those POOR apples and grapes! How can you be so EVIL?
After a tree attacked my house last fall and costme about $10,000, I've launched an all out herbijihad.
