That’s just what the plants want you to believe. Have you ever seen how trees get on when there are no humans about? No, of course you haven’t, because it’s impossible. If a tree falls in the forest and nobody’s around to hear it, it’s probably breaking into your house. Trust me, your average tree (not a larch, of course, but they’re hardly average) can outrun a hedgehog without breaking a sweat. We need to treat each plant individually, not overgeneralize them as a group. Sure, a young, innocent oak sapling deserves our protection, but some of those redwoods, well, they didn’t get to be 4700 years old by being helpless. Get cornered by one of them in a dark alley in Mammoth and you’ll be wishing it was a bunch of redcurrants or a tiger you were dealing with. Which is why we should all hunt and eat redwood trees rather than cows or bananas. And don’t even get me started on sunflowers. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/SCVCAXII4Z4U53XBBQBMCCHDVQRHS35O/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
