golly mister, they's cutting down lots of trees, i hope they know the dead from the sleeping, gnome sane.

if you ask me how satan got started, idle know, i always thought he was just a radical angel, but if you mean how evil got it's start you might as well start with the cutting of the trees. and how the evil creeps roam free. 
if we could watch a tree from seedling to stump, we might have lived too long, but we know trees like being, and knowing life is shorter than a tree, we lament a stump being.
