    A town does not have the power to recognize new rights. Pretty fucking awful that they think a tree deserves the right to life, natural growth, integrity and regeneration, but cows, pigs, and chickens don’t. A tree doesn’t deserve a right to life, we deserve a right to trees.

        Can you please describe your observations and perceptions that lead you to feel I’m being self-righteous? I think the call might be coming from inside the house, if you catch my drift.

          I find sayings like this and the other similar accusation of projection in this sort of context really funny because they’re basically the evolved form of the schoolyard retort: “no, you!”

          Strange how we’ve somehow come to assume that they actually hold any weight despite being functionally the exact same. I mean, even then it was dumb.
