im not sure if i want to lower my IQ by answering this..\n\nit would be obselete and we would have to find another means of settling debt.. remeber .. "money" is just a note to represent the government...... that soggy dollar you just found in the laundry is only good if the government that printed it has gold in the vault to make it worth something...

Very bad. What if they sell the land out from under you? This is not a good idea at all.

The stock market would be perturbed. Other forms of criminality would know a sharp increase. The agriculture of some countries would be severed and so the local economies. Petty crimes would know a rise in some areas. \n\nAccording to the DEA and to many other experts, (illegal) estimates vary. The drug market would represent about 3.5 to 8 percent of the world GDP. This estimate include all by-products, which are cover up companies and business activities, legal fee and lawyer incomes, budgets of drug enforcement administrations, shipping, prisons costs, etc.

Yes this is true. We could have billions of money and still want more. People always want, want, want . They never think of the third world and be grateful for what you have even if it mightn't be alot compared to what others have

as a farmer I might be able to put more light on this question. \nit is true that birds do drop seeds, then the trees grow, but most planted fields are bushhogged and plowed so that any new sapling would be destroyed. Some farmers purposely leave a few trees in the fields. if they pasture horses or cattle the trees provide shade. also the tree may provide erosion control if it is on a slope. I personally have trees in my fields to mark sink holes and large rocks that might damage my tractor. \nThere are many reasons that a lone tree would be in a field... perhaps the farmer looked at it and found beauty in it or perhaps his grandmother planted the tree before she died..

I think it would help in your theory,due to more greenhouse gasses would be assimilated by more trees.\n\npart of the problem with global warming is that much of the planets eco systems are being destroyed without being replendished (south america tree harvesting)

i'd build my cabin in the middle of a forest where there wasn't another cabin around for 100's of acres.  it would be top secret and HUGE!  you could only get to it by walking and it would be stocked to survive there for years without any help from the outside world.

Pro: There are lots of trees.  You can get lots of wood.\n\nCon: There aren't many people to cut trees or who need wood.  You'll have fewer trees.

its kinda like play now pay later mind set. but inorder to have the fruits of life it takes money. you can not eat w/ out money. sure you can plant and grow your own food. how you going to get the seeds ? how you going to get to the market to sell your goods ? takes money to make money. takes money to live.

Because the biomass of a rainforest is not really increasing, it is more at a steady state (or decreasing if you look at the amount of forest getting chopped down). \n\nPlants remove carbon out of the air. If they use it to grow, the carbon stays with the plant and is consequently removed from the atmosphere. If they use it for energy they convert it into carbondioxide again just like we do. In addition there are many decay processes in a rainforest (all releasing carbondioxide which had been fixed in plants). So as long as the mass of the rainforest stays about constant it won't really remove carbon dioxide from the air. \nIt's the same than first growing a field of some plant (which fixes carbon) and then burning (or eating) it (releasing the carbon) on average that's a carbon neutral act. \nIf we would let rainforest regrow on a lot of deforested land, that would remove carbondioxide from the atmosphere while the forest is growing in mass.

The government could make a fortune if they legalized it and taxed it.

Most definitely.  We would earn taxes and save billions in drug enforcement.  And it would get any worse.  \n\nLook at the example of Prohibition.  It never worked except to build up the mafia

the cells in the tree will still be alive right after it's cut from the roots, so it will die some time after that
