When you cannot refute my arguments you resort to crude and childish shoot the messenger trolling.

You thereby admit defeat, by default, in the contest of ideas, by demonstrating your inability to debate the facts and issues raised and instead stooping to personal attacks in an attempt to deflect from the weakness of your ideological position.

For your edification, information, amusement or perhaps more likely, feedstock for further abuse, the pinecone shown is specifically that of a Pinenut tree and I am planting a small forest of these edible nut trees. From that one pinecone I will have extracted perhaps 30 seeds and planted perhaps a dozen seedlings...secure in the property rights of the land upon which I make this investment.
