I'll agree that there is value to some in the trees that aren't x'
apart, but

how much value and to who? The only way to set that is by putting it on
the 

market for all to bid on instead of forcing all to pay taxes top support
the 

values of some. That's how a civilised society would do it, but we will
probably

follow the path that has failed everywhere else too.
