Funny coincidence this topic has for me. I was just in Salt Lake City on a ski trip. On the way into the mountains I noticed one of those equal signs bumper stickers and thought how unnatural, and of course thought of trees in the forest. You make a great example of this here. Also, the LDS church does a pretty good job at distributing the wealth among its hive but it is far from equal. Important thing is what overall benefit to the Big Trees bring to the ecosystem?

From the perspective of humans, one might say "stewardship of resources." From another perspective, like that of nature, one might say the "Law of Flow." // I'm curious, are you LDS, or do you come from an LDS background? I've long admired the LDS commitment to local community, mutual aid, and cultivating resilience. But I have always been looking from afar. In any case, it appears there are things that the Mormons do from which the rest of the world could learn.

I'm not from an LDS background but I like to go to the mountains and canyons of their lands so I'm familiar with their culture. I also agree there are things which the rest of us could learn from indeed, and some things which are very creepy.
