  Let's try something cornflakes-for-brains. How about making sense?
I mean, prattling on without having a point to make may go over well
in your cirle of friends (which no doubt includes such notable people
as Mr. Rogers, Pee-wee Herman, and your good invisible buddy 'Homer'),
but most of the people who read this are somewhat more educated that
you appear to be, and don't need to listen to you spew various words
from your facial orfice. I know some environmental extremists that I
think would like to drive a spike into YOU to save the trees from
being subjected to your mono-celled brain's idea of intelligent
conversation. If I wanted to hear lines as empty of thought as yours
I would watch 'Studs' on T.V.

  However, if he was slightly more evolved, mulch-head here might
come up with the suggestion of actually DOING something about
the destruction of the rose garden....so, anyone want to
volunteer? I would suggest contacting the Vancouver Sun, perhaps
the city office that issues building permits....no doubt some
other 'petition-types' would take up the cause too....
