I love trees. I plant a lot of them.

I noticed one friendly neighbor remark that one of our oldest cedars was a fine specimen and that he wanted to register it.

It got girdled, and I cut it down as soon as possible. I planted three trees.

I don't understand, did you girdle the tree?

You may think that, but I couldn't possibly comment.

I was trying to convey that laws should be carefully written, not to motivate people to do things that keep them inside the law yet are still damaging.
