Just a Note

When some remote ancestor of ours invented the shovel, he became a giver; he could plant a tree. And when the axe was invented, he became a taker: he could chop it down. Whoever owns the land has thus assumed, whether he knows it or not, the divine functions of creating and destroying plants. -- Aldo Leopold
