(87,058 posts)I mean, WTF? Every year they go out and find the most beautiful and majestic ancient tree and cut it down for a massive waste of electricity to celebrate the sacred holiday of spending money, most go into debt to participate, and then grind it up.
How old is that tree?
How many like it were destroyed in fires this year?
How much carbon was it removing from the air?
How much pollution was generated to find it, cut it down, and haul it all the way to DC (And don't forget the other one in NYC) ?
Why is this necessary?
This is why we won;t be saving ourselves from ourselves any time soon which means we are making ourselves feel good all the way to assured destruction of the biosphere because we can't be asked to modify our behavior by ending such blatantly stupid traditions of waste and trying to prove we can have it all.
It's BS, not really any real religion as proclaimed is going on here, except the almighty dollar worship.
