You saw the movie "Avatar", right?

I kept thinking about it, and the "Home Tree" - as we biked through the remaining 5% of the coastal redwoods (when we were further North). Beautiful, huge trees. Magical, really.

Then we were checking out some lime kilns, further south, that were in use from 1887 - 1890 to provide mortar for brick houses being built in San Francisco. They used up the whole lime deposit and cut down ALL the redwoods (for timber and firewood to heat the kilns to purify the lime) before loading it on to ships and taking it North to San Francisco.
All the lime deposit, all the trees - gone. In 3 years.
What was the name of that moon in the movie Avatar?
And who were the bad guys that were mining the "Unobtanium" again?
Oh yeah, that was us (our culture).
Only in "Avatar" the indigenous population won (but only after the mercenaries [Blackwater?] had destroyed their sacred "Home Tree"). Hollywood.
Always a happy ending - in the movies.

So far, from what I have been reading along this trip, CA was not like the moon in Avatar - in how it "ended" anyway.
