You don’t get to stand in judgment about folks money nor do I unless it’s mob money I guess
Wealthy?
It’s called rich
This forum has always been anti rich.
It’s just plain old jealousy and envy
It’s weird though admit it...
So called conservative site
I just think posts like some of these are ludicrous ...
A million dollar fine
Take his house
For cutting down 20 pines in the 10-20 year old range
Pine trees btw....in Missouri
Newsflash
Those were planted...
Not indig....not those kind I’m on a similar latitude middle TN and we have no pines unless planted as windbreaks or for erosion
white pines are natural in the Missouri and Arkansas Ozark hills.
sorry, I should have called it the “short leaf pine”,
Pinus echinata, the shortleaf pine, is a species of pine native to the eastern United States from southernmost New York, south to northern Florida, west to eastern Oklahoma, and southwest to eastern Texas. Shortleaf pine has the largest range of the southern US yellow pines, but reaches its ecological maxima around western Arkansas in the Ouachita Mountains.
You are welcome to your opinion, and thankfully FR is here to let you express it.
We disagree here, and I will let it go at that. I am not anti-rich. Rather I have a big thing for individual property rights and individual responsibility within the rule of law.
A million dollar fine for cutting 100 pines in a national forest would be excessive, no doubt. Here on Lake Lanier there is an identifiable behavior problem with folks ignoring widely known laws about destroying or altering the landscape of the National parkland that surrounds the lake. If you buy property bordering the lake, you do not (with RARE exceptions) have a property line that makes it to the water. You do not own the land or foliage past your property lines.
Why is it OK to cut foliage or move earth on land you don’t own?
Hint: it’s not.
That’s all. The bad behavior happens to be correlated to the noveau-rich of the Atlanta metro are. MANY wealthy folks are good stewards of the lake and parkland.
Oh, many of these are the same folks who operate wake boats which are RUINING the shoreline. But I digress.
