A Odd Tree Trimming Story

[WFM]

I'm not sure if anyone has see the story that's gone to national news now.
The owner of LL Bean. LL Gorman(beans grandson I believe) owns a ocean front camp in Camden Maine. A beautiful spot in a typical maine ocean town. But behind the Bean house on the hill is property owned by millionaires from Missouri who have a beautiful home there. BUT. The Bean house has beautiful towering oak trees on there property. So when spring arrives, the oak leafs bud and grown and hang on until November or so. The the oaks really bugged the Missouri millionaires and they decided to bring a tree poison from Missouri and give the oaks a little drink. A couple yrs ago the Bean folks realized beautiful oaks were dieing. The Missouri folks offered to split the arborist costs to remove the trees. The Beans had the trees tested....poison.
The town land down the shore saw trees dieing also, so testing was done.
Poison. The Missouri folks were fined one million plus.
And they aren't off the hook yet.
The yacht club pulled their membership Ect ect....but the view is much much better.

Pricks with money think they are better than everyone else. Hope they pay more. I have the same type of person in my area. So “concerned”…with his health….Because he used a lot of potent Round-up in his younger days….but monthly, he continues to spray it everywhere, along driveways, around trees and hydro poles, around his many ponds….etc etc…then he cries because all the fish are floating his ponds. Ignoramus…..

Rich people are rich because god has blessed them with favours making them better than everyone else. A real shame about the imposed fine and the yacht club membership.

The wealthy folks have more "smarts" than common folk,.... that is why they run our country!

There is a difference between rich and wealthy. There are many rich folk that are not wealthy!

Keelhauling

Description
Keelhauling is a form of punishment and potential execution once meted out to sailors at sea. The sailor was tied to a line looped beneath the vessel, thrown overboard on one side of the ship, and dragged under the ship's keel, either from one side of the ship to the other, or the length of the ship.

So you think the flogging might have been a little over the top ?
