    Because eventually, like an old grave, erosion, animals and time will carry away most of the dirt below, leaving a crust of earth above. Some schmoe will come along, step on the weak spot and find himself up to his chin in the middle ages second oldest trick in the book; youve just stepped in some shit!
    Often this was coupled with the oldest trick in the book( lookest thou over there) to ensure success of the second. But the dead brilliance of being able to set it so far in the future, show the Belgians to be superior amongst the Europeans, as if we didnt know from the beer already...

    I picture it being like our hillbillies of the south,wanting to secede @ civil war, not really slave owners, just not wanting to live with a black hearted asshole like Lincoln lording over them. What the hell, England steadily gave up its other conquests and pulled its meddling ass out, over the years. Time and economy say its right to let Scotland and Ireland go. I know the Irish get poor social status there, not sure about the Scots, but I think its time to set them on their own.
    England should let them go and concentrate their efforts instead, on making a beer thats worth a fuck.

    Yes, but in a few months all those things are useless crap on their way to the dump. Not so with hardwood. In fact it may even increase in value.

    Of course the reason hardwood is disappearing so fast IS supply cant grow fast enough to meet demand. Period.
    Some do care and do plant hardwood trees, hardly enough.
    Sorry to hear about the Walnut plantation. Walnuts are pretty susceptible to disease if not located in just the right conditions.

    We know that there were tribes who; for lack of anything better to do of an evening , would light pines on fire to watch the pretty colored fire.

    Its too low budget and obviously biased to be believed. If they had a point made by any fact, it was lost in their enthusiasm to trash Islam.
    However this opens the door to Christians taking down Atheist videos, Atheist taking down Christian videos, Islamic taking down Jewish videos, Jews taking down Islamic videos, $cientologists taking down Subgenius videos, Subgenii taking down $cientology videos and Anonymous taking down any server that displeases them.

    As a Luthier, I can heartily suggest planting more HARDWOOD forests. To balance nature a bit from the overplanting of pine by the lumber industry and to ensure a future supply of hardwood for NICE things like furniture, guitars, baseball bats, etc. quit planting damn pines! Hardwoods are dissappearing in favor of the quicker growing weed; the pine tree. In nature, we had forest fires from dry weather, lightning strikes and bored Indians to control pine forests. Now we are out of balance and the price of hardwood is a sure reflection of that. Houses need to be built from better materials anyway, papercrete, dirt,rock,recycled materials and things more suited to lasting construction than found in stick houses.
    Think Hardwood.

    Still too tricky to pin down since that covers everything from Catholics to Messianic Christians, Jehovahs witnesses to Mormons. There really is no standard model as exemplified by the numerous sects. In fact, there are those outside sects with their own ideas as exemplified by the link I left you.
    I think the standard model is a construct of the spiritually insecure and television to present commercial messages to the Agnostic.
