At this particular meeting of the august Board, one man spoke about the several hundred trees that were lost during the 1962 windstorm in Stanley Park. He argued that even though these trees were lost, the Park remained. He further argued that cutting down 32 more trees in order to expand the Aquarium was miniscule. I wonder how this befuddled logician feels now after the Park was devastated during this months windstorms (with more to come any day now). Do 32 trees matter any more than they did in November?

If you want to cut down a tree, you can find thousands of reasons. If you want to save the Park, there is not one valid reason for cutting down a tree simply to expand a building. Wouldn't it be more logical to alter the blueprints? You see Ashley, it didn't take twenty years.
