In reply to the discussion: About a dozen trees cut, dumped into Potomac River at Trump golf club in Virginia [View all]A HERETIC I AM
(24,373 posts)38. Yeah, I get that a lot.
That's sweet of you to notice, though.
The person you responded to made a very valid point and you've turned it into a tirade because not everyone on here agreed with you.
The point wasn't valid, I'm sorry to say, if the point was that I think "it's ok then"
?????? So it's ok then.
Trees fall but not 12 at a time and why help clogg the river. I shudder to think what would happen to me if I did that.

Because I don't think it's OK. I just am not going to get all alarmed and bent out of shape because some groundskeepers did something stupid.
Go and look at the Google Earth shot I linked above. There are no fewer than 5 piles of trees and other debris clearly visible. The river is not "clogg" (ed) by any stretch of the imagination.
Once again, and finally for the record;
This action by the crew was obviously ill advised, inappropriate, stupid and if nothing else, lazy. Do I think that it rises to any kind of environmental disaster? No. I don't. The real disaster is, as I said in a post below, the fact that a golf course is right on the river and the chemicals and fertilizers needed to grow such unnatural grass flows into that river every single time it rains.

While it was probably a stupid thing to do, trees fall into rivers all the time.

People died of measles "all the time". We shouldn't get outraged at anti-vaxers, by your logic. nt

No, you get there by your logic. You ignore the harm to people that posters pointed out.
