The Apple Tree...

So the bottom line is the harvesters of the apple tree do not want to give too much money to the tree "owners" because since the tree owners did not figure out how to harvest the tree themselves, they won't know how to invest their money.

That is the reason for the war in Iraq. We don't want any country that can't develop technologically to be too rich because they will spend their money on wasteful things such as weapons of mass destructions.

This is a conundrum. Perhaps it would have been wiser to have never visited the island and the apple tree owners in the first place.

Just thought I'd bump this.

I had a very fascinating but brief encounter with someone who completely failed the Apple Tree Test.

What amazed me was he's been in the news and the big flaw in his position, in my opinion, is how he views the Apple Tree.
