Fort Knox chronicles the life of a military family: Dad, Major Joe Knox; Mom, Jane Knox; and their two boys, Donald and Wesley. The family has picked up and moved — again — thousands of miles from family and friends to take up residence at Joe's new assignment at Fort Lincoln. Donald and Wesley have moved before, but that doesn't make it any easier on them. They must face down new bullies, master a new school system and new teachers, and navigate a new community. Added to these pressures is the distance the move puts between them and their beloved grandmother, who's a known troublemaker if not a known felon (yet). On top of all that, there's the strain that military life puts on their parents' otherwise happy marriage.

Yes. Write your congressman and protest this outrage.

Of course, what they would really do is just cut the rope, then pick him up and carry him away.

Cut the OTHER side of the tree?

Wait him out. We did that with Earth First! protestors on the Red River Ranger District in Idaho several years ago. After a while they starve out.

Cutting even there might not be safe. Ever see how some trees kick back when downed? Could be a little messy for the little idealist.
