    City fines church for pruning own tree

    "No people in the world ever did achieve their freedom by goody-goody talk and moral suasion: it being immutable law that all revolutions that will succeed must being in blood, whatever may answer afterward."
    Mark Twain

    The article states the law doesn't affect trees on private property - then 5 paragraphs later tells how high the fines are on private property... they need to replace their forester w/ a competent one or simply get rid of the idiot and the law. Whatever happened to "Life, liberty & pursuit of happiness"? Oh, wait, that would mean the gov't had to actually obey their own laws.

    As I understand the story, only tree and shrubs on commercial property are eligible for fines. How is a Presbyterian church a commercial operation?

    As a fellow Presbyterian, I would suggest the congregation do this: Actual title holder of the church is your Presbytery, which has more money and clout than you do. Give 'em a call and ask 'em to sic their attorney on the clowns at city hall.

    They should call City Hall and the Mayor's office and tell them that apparently Kenya has more than one "Missing Idiot".
    and, "God Bless Texas"!
