cut down for show. (Yes, I am a little grumpy on this subject. Not that fond of tree farms, either. A colossal environmental waste. And I speak as someone who loves the smell of evergreens. Living trees are another matter entirely. )

ESPECIALLY does it make me ill that such a beautiful tree should be cut down for the horror show currently terrorizing us.
