Chinese Landslide

“Probable cause is de-forestation.

Chinese Landslide ”

“Found your cause, I see.”

“yep. Didn't want to get left out. The lawyers union is funny about these things.”

“a landslide??? is that the best you can do???

guess chili found his slippery slope.”

“Reminds me of the disasters caused by some of the Maoist campaigns in China (the elimination of sparrows, the destruction of grasses, the attack on bourgeois sentimentality about trees....)”

“Thanks pedxing, I knew someone could identify with this.”

“Deforestation in China? A socialist nation? I thought these enviro-liberals favored socialism and a strong central government. At least that's the all their 'solutions' are.

In Russia, vast acreages of forest that were exploited under the Soviet regime have been turned over to private (read: capitalist) management and are making a rapid comeback. Reforestation is occurring at a rapid rate and proper harvesting is returning the forests to health.

On a side note the earliest recorded instance of a forest practice law is China circa 2500 bc, regulating harvesting on steep slopes.”

“i still think my cloud of death is more interesting”

“gee gordon, if there were more lawyers in China to enforce that law, the landslide wouldn't have happened.

Conclusion: Lawyers save lives.”

“Oh yeah, that Russian privatization effort. What a huge success that has been!”

“The only good lawyer is a dead lawyer.”

“let's not get too personal with this gordon.....

some of us believe in the Right to go Armed!”

“And some of us believe in the right to shoot first...”

“godzeera, godzeera”

“Yep, same thing happened in Italy or Spain last year...massive landslide due to deforestation.”

“Deforestation, Philippines, Marcos reportedly sold the timber rights to his buddies. This was a tropical rain forest.

”

“webshots won't show it

Philippine Deforestation”

“has been really bad in Tibet When I saw Galen Rowell's presentation here in Oregon he told about how he went into Tibet with the sister of the Dalai Lama and she was aghast because she did not see ANY wildlife whereas before 1959 there were all kinds of wild blue sheep, wild yaks and other animals that were visible to the casual observer
as they traveled through the country, truly horrid the ecological tragedy, one Lama that came to visit here in the US was trying to find what trees could grow fast at very high elevations because near the remains of his monastery the Chinese cut down all the trees and the monks have been trying to plant trees but so few of them survive and they grow so slowly at the extreme high elevations, he said they tried everything they could but in the winter the rodents are starving and they girdle some of the trees
very sad story”

“he's a big hitter....da lama




brown clouds? land slides? deforestation? well it's obviously the fault of GEORGE BUSH and DICK CHENEY since it happened under their watch! they prolly had secrete meetings with the chinese gubment and planned to sell all the trees to toothpic factories who polluted the air & made them all rich! they should elect clinton to solve all their problems.”

“rodents? like squirrels? uh oh

isn't there a couple ways to prevent trunk damage?

i wonder if any of this bio-gen tech helped create a strain that might actually reforest there?

i've got tree's out front (austree?) that grow 1-3ft every summer! but elevation is definitely not an issue.

and they have a lifespan of maybe 50yrs”

“Anybody ever visit the Madison Landslide in WY, or the Gros Ventre Slide near the Tetons?”

“So how do you say, "LOOK OUT FOR THE FREAKIN' LANDSLIDE!!!" in Chinese?”

“If it's Chinese...would you pronounce it as "wandswide"!”

“Easy for You to say...”

“lmao”

“Here it starts: Chimp needs a lawyer

Planet of the Apes is not just a movie anymore!”

“LMAO, tango. As liberal as I am,,,,I do have my limits.

Besides, I would hate to be the first lawyer to approach the Supreme Court arguing that the 8th Amendment applies to monkeys.”

“I just read that. Next thing you know, they'll give 'em the franchise...”

“Okay, no Charlton Heston cracks!”

“Or "Bedtime For Bonzo"!”

“I'm surprised Monkey 0 missed that crack. He's usually right on top of things.”

“don't chimps and humans share 98.6% of the same DNA? is that not close enough??”

“I don't know jmitch. Assuming that to be a fact, I would say 1.4% of the DNA makes 100% of the difference.”

“anyone catch the crow/raven that can make fishooks (it was a female)???

what's there DNA ratio?”

“Anybody ever visit the Madison Landslide in WY, or the Gros Ventre Slide near the Tetons?"
