DESCRIPTION
I felt the need to write this down. This was a few weeks ago. As this was happening news was spreading that the people starving to death would not recover even if they suddenly had access to food. It, the culling of all the Sweet Gums, felt like the same sort of helplessness in the face of genocide… obviously there are big differences, but there’s analogy as well.
I wish there was something more I could do. There’s some who would say it’s defeatist to say or think this, but what more can we do, when nothing has had any effect. All we can do is be vocal about it, and not turn a blind eye it seems.
