How can they lose what they never had? ;-)

Maybe you have discovered the root of Portland's problems?

MY trees have three "rights." To bear fruits and nuts. To bear firewood. To bear lumber.

Save a beaver, eat a tree.

KGW has a poll up asking if viwers think Trees have Rights. Although the no's are in the majority, the overall results show just how looney Portland has become.

Yes - 11.93% 21 votes

I grow jap maples,Do I have to apply for minority ststus for them?
Will I have to apply for a permit when it comes time to dig them ? If so one permit , or one permit for each tree ?

tnr is right. The powers-that-be need to send the guys from the funny-farm around to the County Council offices ad gather up this entire bunch and toss them in a rubber room.

This from the same nut job that wants to now preserve the decrepit Sauvie Island Bridge as an "historic structure." Randy Leonard as gone even farther around the bend, but considering the company he keeps, how would he ever know?

I said that the County Council should be sent to the rubber rooms. I actually meant, when I wrote this earlier, was the City Council.

But, now I'm not so sure about that. Maybe both councils should be shipped off the the rubber rooms.

To be accompanied, of course by Teddy the Useless and his semi-useful idiot, Guillermo Bradbury.

I can hear it now: Trees kicking and screaming all the way to the sawmill.
