What happened to message number 53? I thought this was a forum so what's with the censorship?

Anyway, we are talking about SANTA CRUZ, not SANTA CLARA, which is in fact a desert. Santa Cruz has lot of trees.

As far as our founding fathers wanting liberty and property rights and all that, imagine this country 200 years ago. Cutting down a few trees did not make an impact, but now with the population growing as it is and the fact that every single square inch of this county is "private property" save a few nat'l parks, we need to be a little more responsible to the bigger picture.

It's the people who think less than 5 minutes about anything that gives conservatives a bad name. What ever happened to Republicans such as Roosevelt. He did great things for the environment.

This is about where Redding is, right? Santa Cruz County?

From the East of the Mississippi perspective, it is a desert.

Dope growing business is big out there too, right? They like those trees kept in place so the federales can't see what's going on.

Does that play a part in this case?
