Actions, Reactions, Over-reactions

Via Walter Olson at Overlawyered, this story from the London Independent, a story that brings pain to my already at-risk chest. Trees, nearly 40,000 of them, some 100 years old, felled in London because of . . . (gasp) lawyers. Well, there had to be a reason that Walter took note of the story. I love trees. Ask Bennett and he'll tell you. I've got about 5 acres of woods on my property. Lots and lots of trees. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I am a tree-hugger, and proud of it.
