Close to one half million living healthy trees to be cut down around San Francisco!!

72. Thank you.

I am betting that like me, you have become adept at understanding that the wonderful truly "environmental concerns" and also the sensible precautions and smart protocols that always are announced with such love and concern before the clear cutting never actually materialize.

I remember when they planned on spraying carbyrul on the citizens of Menlo Park back in the 1980's. We were allowed to attend an informational gathering which showed how the chemical would be sprayed by a "well trained" individual who would be hoisted to the tops of the branches on a crane, and who would carefully apply the toxic substance, branch by branch. (I admit I no longer remember the correct spelling of this substance.)

The "experts" recited all the statistics on how safe the toxin was, and so what could we members of the community do as a response? We agreed, because we couldn't counter the experts' theory that it was a safe substance, and it was to be applied carefully.

Imagine the community's horror when these trucks arrived and blasted the entire street from zero feet to thirty feet with these thick hoses that pushed out a huge dispersal of the carbyrul into the air. No individual, "hand spraying" of anything.

A friend of mine suffered a miscarriage - whether from the ill effects of this stuff or maybe just the terror realizing that this stuff was now everywhere - except perhaps it might have entirely missed the trees it was intended for as it was sprayed during a time when the wind was 12 miles an hour!
