If a tree falls... by David Lawrence (September 29, 2004) http://www.davidlawrence.biz/ This is the question: If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? Here are some answers: If a tree falls in the forest... Catholicism: It fell for our sins. Judaism: Oy, the tree fell, again?! Buddhism: There is no tree. Islam: Islam is not really about knocking over trees. Fundamentalism: The tree was Evil. Racism: That kind of tree is always falling. Plagiarism: That kind of tree is always falling. Defeatism: All the trees are going to fall. Pessimism: That is the forest of the fallen tree. Optimism: Almost all the trees are standing. Capitalism: Let's sell the wood. Globalism: Let's sell the wood, half way around the world. Communism: Let's knock over all the other trees. Socialism: Let's ask the other trees to fall. Nepotism: Give the tree to my cousin. Isolationism: That tree is none of our business, in fact, neither is the forest. And the one that actually tries to answer the question asked, is... Quantum Physics: Of course not, by definition.

Politically correct answer? The resources rallied while fire-fighting the problem of the tree falling are greatly in excess of the resources and time we should have used to support and nurture the tree properly in the first place. Did it make a noise? Even if it didn't that doesn't mean it didn't suffer horribly in spite of its silence...

I don't know about any sound, but all the other trees laughed :-) "David" <searchsubmit@mail.com> wrote in message news:57446d4a.0410041727.43340a0e@posting.google.com... > If a tree falls... > by David Lawrence (September 29, 2004) > http://www.davidlawrence.biz/ > > > This is the question: > > If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? > > Here are some answers: > <snip> > Quantum Physics: Of course not, by definition. > > (c) Copyright 2004 David Lawrence
