- I posted this just before I realized I was incoherent in that
- last sentence.
-
- I meant it to be "After Gore manages to cut that tree down, like
- Isle Derniere, the whole program is going to be washed away."
-
- Isle Derniere was (and sometimes still is) an island off the
- coast of Louisiana. A resort was built there out of native
- hardwood in antebellum times, and due to the fact that none
- of the hardwood was left to hold the island in place, the first
- Category four hurricane to come along washed the island away.
-
- Personally, I think trees are neat, and I hug them every chance I
- get (except for the pines).
