Well it's Christmas Season again, I can remember when Christmas was just a day...
I could rant about the commercialization of the holiday or how the rampant conspicuous consumption affects our lives. Perhaps the huge waste of energy for all those lights, which undoubtedly adds to global warming...
What about the evils of the credit god and how it is the basic driving force behind our economy?
But today I want to address the murder of millions of trees!
Do we really need to slaughter all these trees just to celebrate the annual debt renewal of the American people?
But most of them come from tree farms proponents tell us, It's not like they're wild trees. Doesn't a "farmed" tree clean the air and provide us with life giving oxygen as well as homes for many of our smaller animal brethren?
Doesn't a farmed tree remove CO2 and create Oxygen?
Doesn't a farmed tree have the same soul as a wild one? The main reason "capitalism" keeps this sick tradition alive is to support the construction industry after all those decorations will be the cause of hundreds perhaps thousands of house fires again this year and further the need for the slaughter of even more trees. Boycott Christmas trees, if you feel the need to perpetuate this tradition get a potted tree. Treat it with respect and plant it in the spring. Tree farms should be growing trees to protect marginal lands from weather, not burning our homes to the ground.
