BATTLE OF WILLS
Eric of Straight White Guy is rhapsodizing on the joy of stump removal, and describes one aspect of the job's soul-satisfaction as "enforcing your will upon God's creations"

That's the same reason I like highways.
God says "I want forests & hills & meadows."
Man says "I want a big, flat rock here that's 20 miles long, and since God hasn't seen fit to provide one, I'll just make it myself."
Nothing makes me quite as giddy with admiration as the audacity of the human spirit.

There was a funny book I "read" years back, of line drawings, first depicting Adam and Eve in a Garden of Eden and then, slowly, the destruction of flora and fauna in favor of cement and steel. Then G-d gives them a cement and steel world, and Adam and Eve procede to destroy that in favor of plants and animals.
It may have been by Thurber. Anyone know what I"m talking about?

Guess I've been thinking about puppy's neutering too much over the weekend cause when I saw the line "rhapsodizing on the joy of stump removal" the first thing I thought of was someone getting their weenie chopped off.
*picking mind up out of the gutter*
