Does a Tree Falling In the Woods Make a Sound?

I thought I would give a little background on this one. I came up with this one because of a video that was titled "Extreme Tree Huggers" I watched on You Tube after hearing an audio clip of it on the radio a few weeks ago. There was a group of people in the woods mourning the death of trees. I can respect the idea of having a cause and being passionate about that cause. It's one of the things that make this county great. If it had been just another video I would have watched it gone on about my business but I am not exaggerating when I say this video left me saying "WOW" to myself. My personal opinion is that there is a fine line between passion and crazy. After a while the long time philosophical question "If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around – does it make a sound?" popped into my head and the result was this cartoon. My intention is not to criticize anyone for their beliefs; it's purely to make someone smile. If you have the time I would say check out the video and see if you come to the same result I did which was "WOW". Everyone have a great day.

I love it, but what makes a sound - the tree or the tree hugger?

Thanks David. I'm not sure but I can say that if a tree were to fall on me I know I would be the louder of the two.

Thanks Sue. I never thought of myself as a writer but I'm enjoying the combination of the cartoon and the narratives.

Ira, you're doing great! In this fantastically illustrated 'toon, the hugger was heard by anyone within 100 miles! Maybe not, but I bet he changed causes. *laughing*

Keep 'em comin'!
