Good morning Lindajoy. You guys have snow? All we've had here is single digit temperatures so far. It did warm up to 11° for this morning tho.

Then, don't watch.

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

I defend their right as well, I just think they chose the wrong place to show a level of disrespect for our country and those whom died for it, so they could show their ass!!

I don't! Just utilizing my free speech privilege, Moldy.

Linda, are you saying you can't cut a tree down in your own yard? Where do you live?

It’s every Americans right to freedom of speech, because of people that fought, and died, for what that flag stands for, and you are correct in saying you have every right to kneel, or cheer the kneelers on, if you want to. All some of whom have served and given life or limb or fought for what our flag stands for, is to please use that God given right of freedom of speech and expression responsibly and respectfully.

Denver, Co area..

The Blue Spruce is the state tree, protected.. You can not cut them down without aggrevation..

Wish I could and I’d even plant two of the same in the same area..Its not illegal they just don’t like you to do it..

It is a racial issue & it is being treated as a racial issue by some.
What you or I may feel about our anthem is not the issue?

Are we to always honor or disregard what has taken place in the past.
I as a white male who has had things easier as an individual.
Now wish to be apart of making the world a place when most can have the chances in life I had.
A leveler playing field of life for all.

We can do it because it is the right thing to do.
Or sit by & let others continue to take more rights from the rest of us.
Leaving us more like those with out.
Than like those with the most.

What is taking place today is not about freedom or rights for average people.
But more wealth & power for the few whites with the most wealth & power keeping what they have & getting more.
It is not about taking any thing from any one that has some thing.
But letting those that have nothing or very little having a better chance at having & being a part of the whole.

At any given time in the NFL those fewer teams with the favorite entertaining values.
Are rewarded with better success that others.
As in life those with the most assets & political power are rewarded the most.
To the point of leaving others with vary little.

We live in a system that what you have & not what you are is valued the most.
I ask only for a bit more credit given to just being a person.

We are on this path towards only having a very few having unlimited power over the many.
it is only those with the most wanting a bit less.
While taking a bit less that can make most of the problems we face.
Become a more livable system for most of us.

Much of what or nation is good.
Much of what we have can be saved.

In life & in the NFL.
It is only every one having a true chance to in the Super Bowl of life. (The American dream)

Why would you want to cut down a lovely tree for a couple of days in your house to watch it dry up & end up in a dump.
When you can look at the tree living in your yard for as long as you may live in that house?

It is many things like what you wish to see that make the world a little bit worse to live in.
Using your rights to do so is a true waste of your time & effort.
A person is well better off to use their influence or rights to advance much better issues.

Please just have a different plan for your Christmas tree.

I wish to start a save that tree issue.
Please any one reading this post help me out.

I think we may need to start a save Linda's three topic.

At my last home I planted several blue spruce trees to close to the fence on the lot line over 30 years ago.
Now I have driven by that place many times but never have looked to see how those trees are.
Branches were growing over the fence while I was living there.

Linda you have room for that tree & it will give you & others great pleasure to look at for a long time.

Have a great day.
May God Bless you & your Blue Spruce.
