		<description>While it is never my intention to offend, this is not an apolitical blog. In the face of global collapse of the environment, the economy, and human rights, to name but three of the truly awful things that are happening, there is no excuse for remaining silent. I mainly write about sustainable landscaping in this forum, but I do not restrict my comments to what is reliably inoffensive. 

As for the Republicans, well, you folks have a lot to answer for, having orchestrated the destruction of our way of life starting with the Reagan administration and continuing, and greatly worsening, up to the present moment of despicable corruption, handoff of our government to giant corporations, the gutting of environmental regulations and social safety nets, the destruction of the middle class, the war on the poor, the invasion of sovereign nations, a runaway imperialist agenda, the ruination of the U.S. Constitution, and so much more that it is really hard to even list it all. Now, the Republicans are not the only ones responsible for all this mess, but they are at the helm of the ravaging of everything that is near and dear to decent people. So I will speak out against these things, as well as speaking up for sustainable landscaping and other sensible behavior, in the interests of possibly eventually wresting control of this suffering world back from the hands of the evildoers who are making an absolute wreck of everything that is decent, sacred, and worthwhile on this earth. If you aren&#039;t comfortable with facing the realities of the terrible situation we&#039;re in, then you&#039;re not obligated to continue reading. I have no interest in self-censoring.</description>

		<description>Why did you have to become political? Here&#039;s one Republican (and YES, proud of it) that selectively prunes shrubs so they can take a natural healthy form. And you know what...my other REPUBLICAN friends who are designers, gardeners, construction folks are the same way!</description>

		<description>Owen: I just posted this at my Facebook page. Call me your pimp daddy.&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;My colleague, TV-cohost and dear friend Owen Dell has launched his blog. Crap - now there&#039;s another handsome, brilliant, funny, smarmy blogger out there. No, I didn&#039;t mean Owen; I&#039;m thinking of this other guy. But as long as you&#039;re on line, I guess you might want to check out Owen also. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh yes, he&#039;s also the author of Sustainable Landscaping for Dummies and if you don&#039;t own it already, you&#039;d better find it soon. It&#039;s your rosetta stone to sustainable landscaping. I&#039;m using it as the textbook for my college class.</description>

		<description>You&#039;re right, Laura. Giving plants room to grow to their mature stature without the need for pruning to control size is one of the best kept secrets of sustainable gardening. When the garden book says Plant X grows to 20 feet tall, believe it. If you happen to want a 20 foot tall plant, you&#039;re all set. But if you want a 6 foot tall one, choose something else. Simple, right? But how often this basic truth is ignored. Oh, the hubris!</description>

		<description>Great post, Owen...I was thinking along those lines just today when I was tidying up the one shrub in my lush back yard that needed a little shaping, using a pair of scissors. That&#039;s my idea of a sustainable garden; one where every plant can grow to its natural size &amp; shape, and green waste is limited to the foliage, flowers &amp; fruits of seasonal plants as they go through their yearly cycles (and even those go into the compost!) What little I need to do (including early intervention w/timber bamboo) can be done with hand tools during a garden stroll. Peace reigns in a stable, sustainable garden, thanks for reminding us why!</description>
