[MD] Food for Thought

[Case]

SA,

I guess my point was that we often focus on the needs of the moment at the
expense of the future. Sometimes because we don't know any better. Sometimes
because we don't care or are just stupid, like burning fossil fuels.

     On Easter Island, it was the thought that was
implementing these trees to be cut.  Then the trees
were mostly all cut.  Society was in a panic, so, the
people took up a new challenge between the clans. 
Climb down the cliff, swim to an island, bring back an
egg across the water, up the cliff, and back where
they started.  Took a year to train for this.  This
idea put into practice detracted attention from the
in-fighting on the island.  They no longer used trees
in helping build those big statues.  Isn't really
cold, and they didn't eat trees on Easter Island.  As
for the Lorax tree, that was for clothes that the
owner convinced everybody that lorax was necessary. 
You know, last chance to get a lorax shirt, and the
business took off from there.  But, that's a cartoon,
interesting message, and such though.
