DESCRIPTION:Film fans,\n\nSnarfle up some of our hickory-smoked popcorn (just kidding) 
 as we watch The Big Trees this Thursday evening, August 11 at Notable House 
 Theater, 189 Ellsworth in San Francisco's Bernal Heights 
 neighborhood.\n\nKirk Douglas stars in this 1953 Northern California tale 
 of private interest versus spiritual claims to nature as part of the 
 commons. There are fewer big trees today than back in '53, and certainly 
 fewer than when the film is set, in 1900. \n\nBut think a minute, after the 
 1906 earthquake and big fire in San Francisco, how would you have rebuilt 
 the homes and businesses of people? With the trees that Julia Butterfly 
 Hill certainly would have attempted to protect? Adobe clay? Bricks? 
 Riverbed gravel concrete? And who should gain monetarily from those 
 resources themselves? The owners of nature, or all of us? Who should be 
 held accountable for nature transformed into human domiciles and museums 
 and business places, just the few nature owners, or all of us? \n\nBig 
 questions for enviros and libertarians, Obamanistas and Xmas tree stealing 
 Gingrichs!\n\nAll are welcome to follow this pre-Silent Spring movie, and 
 then to join the after-screening discussion. Bring a friend and you get 
 chocolate!\n\nFREE\n\nhttp://www.HenryGeorgeHistoricalSociety.org\n\n
