Re-elect Bush, invade Brazil, and impose your divine will. Your rights clearly are more important than those of Brazilians. You know better.

I'm not talking about my rights. I'm talking about the rights of plants that you think humans have the divine will to be lord and master over:

If they want to destroy their orchids, that is their right.

I do not believe it is anyone's right to destroy entire populations and gene pools of a living organism just because of some man-made political boundaries.

Also, just to throw another wrench in your flippant and poorly thought out argument: if they have the right to destroy all their wild plants, they also have the right to sell them to importers for pennies a plant. No? Which is it?

Once again, nobody else can have an opinion!
I'm issuing the infraction here.


We WILL keep this place civil and enjoyable

Now, it's the end of the discussion, the thread is being closed

Mauro, I apologize for closing the thread on your gorgeous plant but this conversation can only go downhill from here
