[/ QUOTE ]Jeez jo you are off on a new rant e3very third post.
Unsupported rants on unprovable philosophy are difficult for outsiders to understand, much less incorporate. Keep comments simple and defendable. All comments to the full committee get a response. You can always contact a committee member in your organization.

Never was a big fan of group think Guy.
When I see or experience problems in the field, like say the tops of sycamores dead and dying due to WCISA groups using them for their arborist certification programs without cambium protection devices?
I'm not the kinda guy that submits letters to them whining about them damaging live park trees to certify members on their ability to perform "proper" tree care.
No, I like to think outside the group box and view it as an opportunity to develope new techniques and methods of solving the problem as efficiently and cheaply as possible.
Anyone who thinks the ISA or TCIA is not as fallible or corruptible as any other so called "non-profit" corporate entity is naive in my opinion.
God I miss old schoolers like Bob Felix these days. He was one of the few insiders of this industry that I could pick up the phone and talk to about problems that I saw in this industry that I felt could be changed, and get a pragmatic no nonsense response from without any BS.
The day will come when my Sky Spider System( see linked to patent in previous post above) will be manufactured and widely used in the tree industry. But like Harvey Firestone, it won't happen in my lifetime due to narrow minded greedy corps protecting "their" turf and market shares.
Logic and practicality has no sway when entrenched corps run the show. But that's never stopped me from taking a personally satisfying bite at their thickly booted ankles both then and now.
Do they feel it? Hell no. Are they aware they've been gnawed at? I like to delude myself and think so.
