This UN proposal cracks me up:
Description: We propose to have a tree planted out the front of the UN building.
:D

You could have every country bring their own tree, that way we can...
watch some of them wither when it starts to snow

I'm up for that. It would make the building pretyy and green.
(I'd bring a Conifer or some other ever-green just to be awkward) ;)

Canada - The non-crappy, environmentally friendly Region. ^_^

Also, the Ban of Hamsters. At least they could have made it "moral decency" instead of "human rights".

one of my first tasks at my job was to do that. Lemme tell you something, for 7.24 an hour, it wasn't worth it. Took a whole friggin mourning, and those edgeing shovels, I don't know why but, they make those things soo damn short, for reasons I never understood. All for the town christmas tree :angry: stupid thing.
Anyways, if I'm not doing it, sure, I'd like to see a tree planted in front of the UN.

Trees
I think that I shall never see
A poem as lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
Joyce Kilmer (1886-1918)

The Trees
Performed by Rush.
Lyrics by Neil Peart
--
There is unrest in the forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas
The trouble with the maples
(And they're quite convinced they're right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light
But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade
There is trouble in the forest
And the creatures all have fled
As the maples scream 'Oppression!'
And the oaks just shake their heads
So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights
'The oaks are just too greedy
We will make them give us light'
Now there's no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe and saw
