Sigh...they are just trees! Something tells me the mall is still going in...

What do you mean they are "just" trees? They play a vital role in the biosphere.

Pickle's of the American Exceptionalism and Dominionist variety where "$#@! off, it's ours" strong armed robbery of the planet is acceptable as long as Americans are doing it and liberals hate it.

Biosphere's are the next gens problems--unless it's pot plants, then it's okay to give a $#@!. If they were trying to bulldoze over pot fields to put in a mall, our good private would duct tape himself to a bush.

Wouldn't it make more sense to say it's "just" a mall?

The real is not will she climb a tree to save trees but will she swear off mall shopping to save trees

Yes, that is part of the double standard of progressives who are overly zealous on the environment while posting from their smartphones, laptops, etc. But of we had to be 100% faithful to our beliefs to take a position then no positions would be taken apart from those of the wholly unscrupulous.

Exactly what we need is more malls in the age of Internet shopping.
