T-Rex: For one month out of the year, it's socially acceptable to cut down a tree and keep it in your house!
T-Rex: But the other 11 months?
T-Rex: FORGET ABOUT IT!
T-Rex: Plus, PLUS, it has to be a certain kind of tree. If you cut down a birch tree people will think you eccentric AT BEST.
T-Rex: Society!
T-Rex: It could, famously, be improved somewhat!
Utahraptor: Your version of an improved society would have trees in houses any old time.
T-Rex: Yes!
T-Rex: And YES, I would improve equality and access to capital and all those other good things, but they're hard to visualize. But trees in houses year round? Now THAT'S something EVERYONE can enjoy!
Utahraptor: What if I don't want a tree in my house?
T-Rex: Well then, you're just not allowed in my new paradise, UTAHRAPTOR. Sorry, not sorry! It's a ME-topia, not a YOU-topia!
T-Rex: ...
T-Rex: ...Crap
