Don’t believe everything you read!

The following is quoted directly from an article on http://www.rushlimbaugh.com about a Ralph Nader speech in Oregon about environmentalism. You should be able to find at least three factual errors. Hint: they’re after the deleted section.

The great thing about a tree is what you can do with it after you cut it down. Trees become baseball bats, beautiful pianos, and they've even been known to become homes. There's a rumor out there that in many, many homes you will find wood, and that's a really good thing. Without trees that wouldn't be possible.

You know, this is what these people don't get. A tree is just like any other crop. It's a renewable resource. And we plant ten trees for every one we cut down. There's no shortage of trees in this country anywhere. We have more trees now than we had at the time of the Declaration of Independence. And you know why? It's because we know how to put out forest fires. They didn't know how to do that back then. They didn't have fire trucks. They didn't have airplanes and helicopters to drop fire-retardant chemicals. We can do all that now.

This shortage of tree business needs to be axed, no pun intended. It's just like there's no shortage of cotton. We need tree subsidies. We need to pay the tree farmers not to grow them because we have too many.
