howabout someone filing a complaint on the Walmart and Lowe's charities that tout on helping the environment and historical resources. Its faulty claims to gain profits from shoppers.
Anon, I do not understand your argument? Building more programs in natural places helps youth. There needs to be more calming natural places and more programs to help the youth.
Sorry to say, but for someone to care about one thing and not another, sounds like they are affiliated with the deal somehow, especially if they speak in a tone without much class. The deal is sad, but it is more sad to think we live in a world with people who think this way.
Way to go to Anon who quoted Rachel Carson. It was Rachel Carson who was the impetus to rid the environment of DDT and other deadly pesticides. She was enlightened and thank god, people heard her and we didn't carelessly kill off all the Ospreys, Bald Eagles and various falcons that were being poisoned by the toxins. Unfortunately, some people also called Rachel Carson a moron and villified her too as some people are now with this "bunch of wacko's" who want to preserve a pristine place. I have to wonder if those people who consider those of us who respect and want to preserve nature were somehow deprived of it when they were young and still haven't given themselves a chance to appreciate it.
I meant the comment earlier for Anon who called everyone morons. keep it up! it helps the cause.
Penny- I didn't grow up around trees, but love the woods today. Not sure what makes some people corporate, and others caring? I agree, great quote by Carson.
Anon, Don't be so ignorant about the world in which you live---Reported today from HADLEY, Massachusetts — "The eastern cougar, a large and elusive tawny wild cat that once prowled over wilderness in 21 states, is now extinct, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said on Wednesday." Gee, too bad the cougar couldn't have bought the woods where it once roamed. Too bad the extinct Ivory-billed Woodpecker couldn't have bought the Southern bottomland forests where it depended upon the insects that were abundant in the decaying old growth forests. Too bad the forests were clear cut and the Ivory-billed went extinct. Yea, too bad the Ivory-billed couldn't have bought the land. Too bad the amphibians, birds, etc. that live in the vanishing open space areas and still do thrive at Spring Ponds Woods can't buy the property from the greedy, short-sighted people who "own" (????) the land. Anon...your thought process, if I can call it that, is a very unenlightened and selfish one.
To Spring Pond Poet... Very, very true. Unfortunately, the stars have all but disappeared because of the light pollution from humans. Lowe's and Super Wal-Mart will diminsh the last few that we can see around here. The skies around here when I was young, where starlit and beautiful. Now, it's hard to go far enough away from the malls to see the grandeur.
Thats sad if one of the Lions said go buy your own woods. Let me ask. Why did the members of the Lions decide to join the club and operate a camp for children in the wilderness? What was their motivation? What was their original motivation to be a proud owner of a campground, preserving acres of forest? What was their original mission when joining the club? Was it the same as the actions now?
Nona, You're operating on logic--It doesn't seem that the Lions of today have that capacity. Someone from their organization ought to stand up and reconsider this whole thing and redeem their esteemed and respected paast mission.
There are nuts like you in every community pains in the asses so far removed from reality it is sad. I do care about trees and nature. Not at the cost of taxpayers. Lots of trees in Lynnwoods and other places. There are little old ladies being beat up in Lynn and the schools are failing. All you fuckards can think about is saving a useless piece of land ripe for the developing. Highland Ave is Salems Rt 1 currently even if they do not expand the existing Walmart. Your wasting tax payer money by filing false lawsuits! Your insulting the Lions, a wonderful group who has contributed more to society than you circle jerking tree huggers ever will! Walmart and Lowes will conquer this battle and win. They have deep pockets and secret friends amongst you in the community.
Now, now, Mr. Anonymous (9:06), It sounds like you've had a little too much to consume. You wouldn't want the world to know that Walmart and Lowe's is paying off everyone, and has secret friends in all places. You wouldn't want them to take the money out of your pockets back? This is getting juicy!
As I said before, the Lions have, in my mind, always been an esteemed and respected organization---BUT---now they have jeopardized their reputation and are so far off their past intended mission that the organization is looking really, really bad.
We live in a world of fraudsters. It starts at the top organization and goes all the way down to the lowest. 'Fraud is like rain. What comes from the top - you find at the bottom.'
Lets cut all the trees then, so they can print those manuals on how to be good taxpayers, with nothing in return. Damn taxpayers, for asking to preserve a little bit of open space!
about time

The Lions have created a lot of busy work for everyone. They started it, they can end it. Thank the Lions for putting the cost into everyone's wallet.
ReplyDeleteWe need more community activism to preserve the quality of life.
ReplyDeleteThank you both!
Lions around the world are planting and protecting trees

ReplyDeleteAnon- Sometimes those you think are 'morons' have to remind people of the original cause, which brings meaning to life.

City2City friend,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you love the woods. It's too bad we have to fight to keep them.

ReplyDeleteGo buy your own woods. these woods belong to someone else.
