“In Cyberspace, the First Amendment is a local ordinance.”

If a tree falls in the forest, no matter who is or isnt within an earshot, that tree still most definitely makes a sound. Unless of course that fallen tree exists in a universe built upon a soundless vortex. That, is an entirely different story. As is the same with other instances of life. Trees were, are, and will continue to be metaphorical symbols for all aspects of life. 

Similar to people, they undergo life cycles. They grow, age, and mature, until ultimately they die. And throughout their lives and deaths, trees poses the outstanding ab ility to adapt to the circumstances of life. They are able to sustain other life. They provide for the community. Food. Materials. Shelter. Medicines. So much is often over looked when viewing a tree. Its significance is masked by the trivial insecurities of life. Such a shame.
