4/11 Motd poll: What do you think the Easter Islander that chopped down
the last Easter Island tree was saying as he did it?
"Jobs, not trees!":
"Technology will solve our problems, never fear, we'll find a
substitute for wood.":
"We don't have proof that there aren't palm trees somewhere else
on Easter, we need more research, your proposed ban on logging
is premature and driven by fear-mongering":
"this is gonna make a nice fire to cook my dinner on"
"I better take this tree now, before my neighbor does"
\_ "This ought to make sierra-club libural hippies in SF cry."
\_ You sure are smart.

\_ On a funny note, I saw a Fox news blurb yesterday about how
trees may cause global warming.
\_ "I'm sure this isn't _really_ the last tree."
\_ "As history has demonstrated, we will always invent newer and
newer technologies to locate more and more trees that we can't see
now as tree-cutting rate goes up and up. These will include, but
not limited to, technologies to find transparent trees, trees that
float at 20000ft altitude, quantum trees that have no fixed
position, as well as anti-metter trees. Our tree supply will be
limitless."
\_ Whatever they said, if they said anything, I'm sure it wasn't
in English. ;-)
