There's different laws saying you can't use explosives. There's nothing inherently illegal about herbicides. Are you gonna convict someone under this law if they pour out a beer on their lawn? There's nothing inherently illegal about using explosives, either. In fact, companies do use explosives to remove trees sometimes. The key part of my post is "just because they want to." Your scenario doesn't make sense. If someone has an easement, it's not THEIR lawn. In general, people should have limited rights to pour beer on someone else's property. Ar0ge posted... I guess I don't understand how the comma or lack thereof changes the definition of "remove" It's 2 separate arguments, and the 2nd argument only matters if the company wins the first argument. First is, can the company "remove" or "trim and remove" ? If they can only "trim and remove," then they likely can't use herbicides. Second, are herbicides "removing"? --- Internet + video game message board = upper-middle class + never-employed = libertarian ... Copied to Clipboard! |
