Reading CNN.com and listening to KLOS 95.5FM tonight, I heard about this tree, a 400-year-old oak tree that some developer wants to chop down to make room for widening a two-lane road near the oak. Come on people, this tree is over twice the age of the United States of America. It’s a part of history. This tree has survived so much over the past 400 years, wars, fires, etc.
Here’s a funny thing… Gray Davis, the governor for all of California says it’s a “local problem” and won’t help in trying to save this tree. All of California is his problem. Why not make the road go around the tree? That would just be to easy I guess.
Anyway, sorry for the rant but if you care to read the story, here’s a link to the story.

There are some who fail to recognize our link to the past and wish to cut down or cut all references… IE: CHANGE from our heritage. These interlopers do not see the vakue of 400 year old trees or 200 year old documents that founded this country. Wake up! Save not only our 400 year old trees, but also save our founding fathers documents… like our Constitution.
