Why does it necessarily follow that someone who "cares about trees" - someone who cares about the environment - cares "more about a tree then human life?"
Since when are the two mutually exclusive?
Someone can't be against abortion, for example, and also be an environmentalist?
Anyone who is pro-choice is automatically an environmentalist?
I know that I certainly care about the environment, but if you gave me the choice between saving your life, DS, or cutting down a bunch of trees, I'd be happy to spare you. Originally posted by Sicilian Babe:
as I said, I was mystified by the supposed connection between being pro-choice and/or being an environmentalist, and what that has to do with Mayor Giuliani. Do they all go together, like in a package? The implication from Don Smitty's post is that if you believe in abortion, then you're a tree hugger, although you value the life of a leaf far more than human life. And I just don't see how DS got from Point A to Point B. ----------
Apparently the article
proves that the "tree huggers"
do think that the life of a tree is more important than a human life. :rolleyes:
