Assassin? Lord have mercy! We have gone absolutely stupid with the PC in America. Now if you cut down trees we are Assassins?

Save the planet - kill the people next? - You guys are hard up for real news.

Lexihel... get a grip.

It is outrageous that this woman will get in trouble for cutting down trees ON HER OWN PROPERTY. My sister, a single mother, was desperate for a house she could call her own., (She works so hard) and she almost bought a very small but cute house that was swamped with trees. She always wanted a play area for her son , and maybe a small pool. But the realtor mentioned that she MIGHT NOT BE ALLOWED TO CUT DOWN THOSE TREES ON HER OWN PROPERTY because of some busy body law or other. She ended up being out-bid (whole other story of greed and corruption) so this problem is not hers. Thank goodness. But I think it is horrible that now-a -days other people get to dictate to others how to live and what to do with their property. I understand that trees are good for the environment, and we all have some enviomental responsibilty, but WHEN IT IS "YOU" SACRIFICING suddenly it is a whole different story. I also notice that these green people live in beautiful homes surrounded by pools (and how many trees had to die to make room for their houses?) and yet they want to dictate how others live.

Lexihel;
SOB, I get SICK of people imposing THEIR ideals on others.*** "Her yard is her business but those trees are your, mine, and everyone business?"*** WHAT?! How did you come to this conclusion? Pot? She pays the taxes, NOT you. So, the dirt is hers but the trees aren't. Makes sense to me...not.***"So do whatever you want with your yard, but leave our trees alone!"***At what poiint did her trees become yours? Over a certain height maybe? How does this work? Next you'll complain because she cuts grass and harms it. Shezzz, go hug a tree but not hers 'cause they're gone! LOL. I wish you lived by me because a few years back I cut 14 trees. I bought this place, I did not like where they were, so down they came. I hate to cut a healthy trees but the previous owner stuck 'em in the ground with no forethought. However,no way would YOU tell me what to do on MY property and if you tried you'd get a dose of life in the real lane. Get a job or go fly a kite because you've way way waaaaay too much free time.

If you think that this is bad, there is a suburb on the Southwest St. Louis, MO. City Limits called Maplewood, MO. If you own a home there, you can do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to your own property unless you FULL permission and expensive permits from the City Council. Want to build a Privacy Fence? Absolutely not. No one else hase one, why should you? Want to build an addition to your home? Fill out a mass of paper work and then go and explain to the council why you believe that you should build an addition if everyone around you doesn't have one. You will eventually get permission after you pay for "Planning Fees" and other types of "legal" extortion. Want to finish your basement. Again. Loads of paperwork and and explainations and reasons and fees. The place is full of yuppies and "Antique" dealers and a very expensive restaurant and a snobby bicycle shop and that's about it.

Psh, your local Home Owners Association is probably just as bad, if not worse, than this. This sort of dictation is common all across neighborhoods in America too, guys.

Heaven help us if we can't even cut down a tree in our own yard without breaking some law, rule, regulation. What next? Will they want to raise our children for us, too?

#1) This was in Canada, a lovely country but much more socialist than the USA is--yet. There they have hate crimes and hate speech by kangaroo courts. How can you prove or disprove what motivation lay behind your words?
#2) They DO want to raise your kids. Thats why school is compulsory and home schooling is made difficult. Thats why Obama wants to provide subsides for day care. Tax us heavily so we need two parents working two jobs each, too tired to raise their own kids, then ride in as a saviour and use the tax money to subsidize daycare. Brilliant, and they will get away with it if we don't all get active.
Demonstrate, agitate, educaste and run for office.

If I want to cut and burn all my trees in my yard, and do a naked dance around the smoldering fire, so be it... ITS MY PROPERTY, I also have the same right to plant 2,000 trees on a quarter acre lot. Everyone needs to drop their socialist mentality and worry about their own business. If you want to tell me how care for my property, please pay my mortgage and I am all ears. You commies

I say sentence her to life in a toothpick factory.

Anyone else notice how many still standing trees are in that picture? All she did was thin out her yard along her driveway so she could actually see the sky. They are morons to charge her with cutting "more trees than her permit authorized".
