    Ouch! Perhaps this will inspire people to get plantable christmas trees.

    Difficult for me to fathom the being who kills living things for pleasure. There used to be several acres of large trees near me. I was shocked as I drove by one day...EVERY tree was down, their branches and roots resembled a field of corpses. A few weeks later, a bright, shiny, new strip mall replaced them. As if we needed another one of those.

    Yes, not a fan of Christmas trees being hacked down just because it's tradition. You've been hiding your poetical talents under a bushel, Richard. Hope to see more.

    The waste that tree killers produce is shameful and disgusting. All those healthy trees killed FOR WHAT? You hit the nail right on the head. Well done.
