How does a brilliant display of stupidity reduce human arrogance? The idea that planting a tree can somehow change the forces of nature is human arrogance at its core.
Based on JamesTuskGeorge’s summary, I figured it was a nice gesture to replace a tree that was destroyed by winds in order to keep the tradition alive.
It was nice to not take down the tree in the first place, that’s the part I liked. As opposed to destroying them for the sake of entertainment.
You gonna bitch about PLANTING trees? Boy, I need to get my priorities straight.

That’s hilarious!
For many years (200 or so) there was a tree growing on the outfield of Canterbury cricket ground.
But it died.
