At one time I had a bonsai tree I inherited from somewhere.
And I agree, I have to do some rethinking. Anu's thread this week has me thinking about lots of things that way. Pigeon-holing people, like discrimination. I can see a certain beauty to the forced trees, etc., but it does seem improper in a certain way. The same with animals breeding them such to achieve some sort of beauty. I have a King Charles Spaniel, in 1939
some folks inbread them somehow to shorten or lengthen the nose to make them more appealing (I forget which), and mine is now called a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. Seems somehow odd. I wonder how long it will take to do it to people with the genome projects and cloning ideas that are out there.
But then this is a forum for ideas.
