[Leps-l] QAnon Conspiracy Theorists Force Butterfly Sanctuary to Shut Down

Tue Feb 1 15:35:35 EST 2022

Indeed Human Overpopulation and Human Overdevelopment in both Rio Grande valley and most other parts of America is terrible. Why are so many leftist Democrats refusing to do much of anything about facing and defeating these awful scrouges of biodiversity, native ecosystems, and natural habitats in America and Worldwide. The current Great Species Extinction rolls on and gathers steam.  CRT and Open Borders Immigration policies are not helping in the least Environmentally.

I am deeply saddened by the landgrab in The Valley and the threats to Sanctuary staff.  Threats are cheap but devastating andn stressful, and all to often followed by action.

I think Joyce Kilmer and THE TREE are gentler topics as we lament a gentler time.
This URL indicates Rutgers Claim to the inspiring tree, but also mentions Alex Michelin's sleuthing and the Mahwah connection.
I've been at Rutgers only since 1980, long after the KILMER OAK was surgically removed.  I dobut if today anyone knows the story, although even the fresh-ones who look so young will have learned the poem.
But if the tree-site and its offspring have nothing to do with inspiration, they are a fitting monument to a great mann and a great Rutgers alumnus.

Kilmer Oak Tree’s anniversary stirs local lore on notable poet | The Daily Targum<https://dailytargum.com/article/2013/09/kilmer-oak-trees-anniversary-stirs-local-lore-on-notable-poet>
The Kilmer Oak Tree was cut down 50 years ago yesterday, taking with it many layers of local lore surrounding the notable poet Joyce Kilmer, who was born and raised in New Brunswick. Following his graduation from Rutgers Preparatory School, Kilmer attended Rutgers University from 1904 to 1906.

As well to stay away from politics except where it assaults the butterflies. My computer tells me that at 1:30 a.m. it is 59F and sunny.

South Florida, the former may be true. Trust, but verify. Live long and prosper, my friends.

In the south of Texas, my friend tells me, the hummingbirds come to her feeders; the two that aren’t frozen.

She has a fine assortment of butterflies.

Sound advice, Eric. But I don’t think of Yeats’ poem as sarcasm--but a cry of anguish.

We need to be careful with the sarcastic comments. Those words will be picked up as direct quotes attributable to us. I have experience with this sort of thing working with hostile groups when I was employed by the ODNR. Please Keep the sarcasm private, preferably spoken and not in print anywhere.

Well put Anne, but the problem is that people DO let fools drive the bus. To parody your grandfather's famous poem one of those fools could, if he had the necessary ability, write

I think that I shall never see
A man who's cleverer than me
I'll show I'm cleverest of all
I'll build a great enormous wall.

For people who don't get this reference here is a wikipedia reference to the poem Anne's grandfather wrote.
