The Social Lives of Trees

[Sacred Fool]

But I think what you're saying misses the point I was driving at.

Sorry about that, 'feet.  I guess I see the impressions born of 2D experience as various factors among many others (i.e., not strongly deterministic) upon entry into 3D.  But I could be wrong about that--it's just so hard to really know.  Perhaps various unknown ancient peace loving cultures who left us no lasting monuments (there were thousands of such just in N & S America, for example) were descendant of vegetal varieties?  Maybe Quaker and Shaker types?  I wouldn't be surprised if there were cases like that.

Gosh, this talk makes me want to go outside and sit in the woods right now.  But the damned coyotes are sooooooo noisy and disruptive.....
