Philosophical Question
If there's a big storm and a tree falls in my back yard, but my wife and I act like we don't see it or hear it, then did it really happen?
Libertarians, My Libertarians!
Cruel to be kind means that I love you . Because, while I think you are mistaken, your hearts are in the right place -- yes, even you, Silas -- unlike some people . This Breitbart fellow (discussed in the link above), by all appearances, deliberately doctored a video of Shirley Sherrod to make her remarks appear virulently racist, when they had, in fact, the opposite import. I heard that at a recent Austrian conference, some folks were talking about "Callahan's conservative turn." While that description is not entirely inaccurate, I must say that a lot of these people who today call themselves conservative give me the heebie-jeebies.
Trees have experience -- the tree knew it fell.
ReplyDeleteYes, the town will be alerting you to the fact if you don't clean it up. Your proof will be the fine they impose on you.
ReplyDeletePepe,
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty secluded. I think one of my neighbors would have to tattle on us.
Like Putin, I understand that leaving the tree back there indefinitely could upset the strategic balance of the neighborhood.
