It's ridiculous for destroying the natural environment.

Thanks for the Google Streetview!

In all fairness, if there is one thing the earth doesn't have a shortage of, it's rock. And it's not like anyone is removing any rock from the planet, it just gets moved from one place to another.

For what it's worth, I like trees.

I like trees, too. Until the other day, I didn't realize that Sphagnum Moss bloomed. Why wouldn't it?

I know, but c'mon, it's the Palisades, one of New Jersey's most beautiful geological features. The formation that gave the movie industry the term "cliffhanger". We really need another Walgreen's or Starbucks so much that we need to blow up the Palisades?

I would agree with you if it were in a different location. When I think of the Palisades, I don't think of that rock pile on the side of the road, which is obscured from view by the Hospital anyway. And you are definitely right in that we don't need another Walgreens. You can never have too many Starbucks though.

I couldn't agree with this more.
