Rand save a sentimental schmuck from the holler such as me, but I just LOVE stuff like this little story. STORY HERE
Some humble citizen in West Virginia lost a nice tree in his front yard to a storm a few years ago. Now he's turned it into a platform, inviting neighbors to come make literal stump speeches to all who wish to gather round.
The difference such a thing is likely to make in the real world probably rates as approximately negligible, but the idea of this appeals to every little Mr Smith Goes to Washington bone in my body.
