A tree with an awful history
BBC News - The world's oldest clove tree
Control and manipulation rule the world. What a horrendous heritage.

The "Conquering Countries" that traveled the early world in search of riches, to my mind, have a case to answer for the damage they have done to the local peoples of that world. But I suppose history has had a hand in the outcomes of fortunes of a lot of countries. Mankind is awfully good at strong arm tactics to get what he wants. The amount of blood shed in the pursuit of profits is appalling!! With a"modern eye" we probably include the illegal drug "business". Nearly nightly we see footage of murders related to this latest "big money" business.
Just do it!
Kind regards Rod

Great post Evan!! Thanks for that!!
The history of rubber is an eye opener too. Especially the collection
of latex in the Congo under the Belgians.
