Wow! Just WOW! A greenie attacked and killed by a tree!

This is a great tragedy - no joke.

Here is a man who worked hard to help companies do what they need and want to do to stay in business, but to do it with a minimal harmful footprint on the environment. There's nothing "liberal" about that, my Freeper FRiends - the man was in business, serving other businesses!

Not only that, but he died skiing, a sport I love, and at Homewood, just about the most beautiful resort in Tahoe - it sits RIGHT on Lake Tahoe, giving you a view of the amazing blue lake the whole way down.

RIP. And let's show thoughtfulness on this.

Placer County Sheriff’s Sergeant John Giovanini says 37-year-old Tyler A. Palmer was found upside down in a snow bank under a tree Sunday afternoon.

A passing ski patrolman helped dig him out and started CPR until paramedics arrived, but those efforts were unsuccessful.

Palmer was declared dead at the scene about 45 minutes later.

Authorities say Palmer was skiing in bounds on an expert black diamond run. The weather may have made for low visibility.

His death is being called accidental.

"...harmful footprint on the environment..." tells me all I need to know about where you stand politically.

That's kind of a strange, 'Catch-22' warning bell phrase for someone on a supposedly Conservative Republican website, eh?

So excuse me if I take your opinions with a huge dose of Epsom Salt and really careful scrutiny before I consider them valid.

...that might have been his problem or he just lost control.

Now as far as "black" humor.... c'mon let's not lose our heads about this.

Cause arguing with Freepers is like banging your head on a hard object.

I wonder if this will be reported in the usual liberal fashion?

Like "A tree killed an environmental entrepreneur, marking another environmentalist killed since Bush declared an end to hostilities in Iraq."

Not when you are providing a service that is being mandated in different states.
