And I being a reasonable thinker would agree that they went to cut a tree
down and there was only one to cut down. But then again, this was a one
of
the country's most "FAMOUS" trees and one would also assume that it would
be
a good idea to double check before cutting down a
Famous tree.



If it was a famous tree and it was cordned off or marked with a sign, I
might agree. Take a couple of numbsculls with a chainsaw any any tree is
fair game. Especially if it is the only tree.

Leon, I can assure you that there are many people in this world that would
have cut that tree down with no hesitation and no forethought. I have a
couple of people at work that would do it. If you told them to go out back
and take a big pile of dirt and fill in the hole, they would start digging
at Mount McKinley to fill in the Grand Canyon with no thought of the
consequences.
