…surely a sport like hunting and cutting down trees for fun. Timber! We need more wood for the fire. Go fuck yourself with a one-by-four steel rod! I hope a tree falls on your head before you shout the next, Timber.

So, how do you really feel? LOL! Seriously, I used to live in a golf community in Florida. My yard backed up to the 9th tee, and I kept it natural, with palmettos, scrub oaks, bay trees. My yard was full of birds, including a family of quail. One day I came home from work and all the scrub had been cleared out, for the convenience of duffers whose balls kept getting lost in the brush. 30+ years later I'm still enraged. Thank you for this essay. Now, how can we direct our anger to stop this idiocy? :(
