Rationalizing: I quess I'm a "tree sitter" of a type. I set in my house, built of wood, in my loft in that house, typing on my computer. My "buckets" are 2 finely equipted bathrooms both upstairs and down. They carry the yellow liquids and brown deposits away from my "platform" and make life wonderful, and convenient. Maybe the "tree sitters" should try this. There's also showers and bath tubs in my "platform", they make me clean and fresh, so that my fellow "tree sitters" can stand to be around me. There are also telephones in my "platform" so I can call 911 if I fall from my loft, and roads to get EMS to my broken body. Thereby, making my chances of surviving a fall from my "platform" much, much better.
One would have to look at this practice of "tree sitting" as camping, for the mentally challanged! Or, maybe they didn't have a tree house when they were kids. These people need to get a life, they are on sale at Walmart for $39.95.
