An 880,000 lb. Sequoia in Idaho is being moved about a block to make room for a hospital expansion. I wonder how Native Americans see something like this, given their reverence for the earth, nature, and the people who live on this planet?
The seed for the tree came from John Muir — about 100 years ago. How would he feel about this decision? It seems that no thought was given to a saner solution.
Actually, this is just the most recent vivid example of capitalistic hegemony and idiocy. You can see the broad outline of such craziness in terms of what Trump is planning to do with so many national monuments. The message is loud and clear from his policies toward national lands and treasures. Money is more important than anything else.
I feel sick.
