I am a singer/songwriter/watercolorist who has spent many, many, years painting outdoors and writing music while inspired by nature’s/God’s handiwork. Of course this is not a religious petition per say, but rather one that makes perfect sense. There is plenty of land to go around and plenty of areas that can be used for developement. But, once you destroy this bautiful ‘Angel Oak’ there will be no replacing it. These are life’s treasures and God knows we have all made enough money on the natural resources lent to us? Is there no shame when developer’s have to keep exploiting, abusing, and profiteering by destroying the landscape? Put an end to this, by leaving the damn tree alone, and go build your ‘yuppie’ Condo’s somewhere else!!
