The trees

I am blown away by the response I received from my last post. I wish I could have responded to each of you personally. Suffice to say, thank you. All of you. The woodworking community is a tight-knit one, as evident from your support.
This is a woodworking blog (well, sort of) and I will not dwell on the matter any more.
Are any of you fans of Rush? Well, Ill admit, they are a geek band that always been dear to my heart. They were the ones who exposed me to Ayn Rand and Objectivism. If you havent read Atlas Shrugged, check it out.
Here are the lyrics to The Trees, my absolute favorite Rush song and probably one of my most favorite songs ever written. It speaks not only to trees, but the nature of Americans. Are the oaks just too lofty? Can we all be kept equal by the saw?
"The Trees"There is unrest in the forestThere is trouble with the treesFor the maples want more sunlightAnd the oaks ignore their pleasThe trouble with the maples(And theyre quite convinced theyre right)They say the oaks are just too loftyAnd they grab up all the lightBut the oaks cant help their feelingsIf they like the way theyre madeAnd they wonder why the maplesCant be happy in their shadeThere is trouble in the forestAnd the creatures all have fledAs the maples scream Oppression!And the oaks just shake their headsSo the maples formed a unionAnd demanded equal rightsThe oaks are just too greedyWe will make them give us lightNow theres no more oak oppressionFor they passed a noble lawAnd the trees are all kept equalBy hatchet, axe and saw
