ITS RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE TIME
MOFO CITY PLANNER SHOWS UP
clutching his PRECIOUS map of the
NEW and
IMPROVED SEWAGE SYSTEM! and when I ask can they not save the FOUR EIGHTY YEAR OLD TREES on the street he blinks at me and replies
" everything dies".
YEAH BUT MAPLES LIKE THESE CAN LIVE TO BE 200 YEARS OLD MOTHERFUCKER!
BUT.
INSTEAD OF TAKING MY KATANA OUT AND SAYING
MAYBE YOU SHOULD TOO!
BEFORE CHOPPING HIM IN HALF I calmly and politely ask: can you not work around the trees? They are on peoples' properties and perfectly healthy.
NONONO Little LADY he
LOLS: we need to straighten the road.
I say: "the road had not been straight since it was made as it follows the curve of the river,"
[ MORON FUCKFACE!]
"and also, no one who lives here wants the trees cut".
WELL ITS ALREADY BEEEN DECIDED THIS IS FOR THE BEST BUT WE'LL REPLACE THEM WITH 3 YEAR OLD TREES DONT U WORRY.
I decide its prolly time at this juncture to nod politely and walk away so I DID.
And bright and early this AM they started first mutilating, and then chopping down to woody stumps, the glorious shade maples that once lined our street.
Two hours per each 80 years of growth. SOUNDS LIKE A DEAL TO ME.
"MURDERS! ASSASSINS!"
