I believe the 'live food' thing refers to not eating processed foods. Fresh fruits and veggies are scientifically proven to provide much more nourishment than processed foods injected with vitamins. Some believe that 'killing' foods by cooking and processing them destroys nutritional values and the food actually becomes toxic, destroying our bodies rather than nourishing them.

There are some good books on this. I can't think of any titles but I've known people who take this quite seriously and they certainly seem healthy.

I do. I live with a NA, natrapathic doctor. And much about topic and how to make fast corrections while listening to your own body.

I'll direct you to her if there are any question;

Regarding this topic;

There are certain nationalities that are culturally predetermined to not make a contribution to this world, there job other than spending the time and doing what was 'said', or the community.

There are changes in what I've observed over the years. There are beginning to be those who know they must honor who they are and out of that comes a great contribution. It wasn't there before.

Notice, I've not said which nationality?

Jack, (corrected spelling)

Hi Daniel, I hear what your saying about doctors and horsepistols . I think it is now called "The Modern Day Temple of Doom". However, in the defense of the medical profession, they do exellent work in diagnosis and repairative surgery, but their downfall lies in that they like to treat effects rather than causes. There is more $ in treating effects than there is in treating causes.
P.S., isn't the word cult a derivative of the word culture?

Here's the only black tree biz owner in this area.. He's bad at lowballing, I'm trying to get him out of the hole he's digging for himself into. He's has reputation within his customers as being cheap, cheap, cheap. Because of that, they always expect his everyday low prices.

I don't care. I charge him top dollar.:angel:

He duz have a nice chipper, though.

Arborists are a Minority.

There are certain nationalities that are culturally predetermined to not make a contribution to this world.....

i'm sorry i don't think that is in the spirit of this sight, and walking right up to one ethnic slur or the other still counts as a hit and is not a joke, or guessing game. Some people don't respect any of our sweat and would blanketly comment....

Peace.

This country was largely built on the sweat and blood of the African people.... I find it hard dealing with racism and racists as they see life through a filter... Can't say much to change their minds... had to listen to some of that last nigh as a matter of fact...

minority climbers

first thing i'm not a token any thing. second it take a special type of person to do what we do.not everyone likes to do it i know a few black climber from line clearance. and they do it only for the money. i like what i do money to me is just paper. it is nice to have but that's not why i do it . it is the feeling i get being up stairs. better then being high on any drug. I to am a very spritacul person.

 

[pe5572]

also i'm not scared bj i just think about what i'm doing before i do so i don't look like a a hole if something goes wrong. so i elimaite that from the task at hand.now like i told you i don't real care any more and just do it . if something happens sh%t happen.trying not to have any thing happen but relay on my skills more then any thing else.to try and speed up.

 

[BigJohn]

yo Pat don't worrying about looking like a hole. If your gonna do something wrong you know I'll tell ya. If you don't attempt to make a mistake I can't correct it and tell why and explain why you may not want to do that. That is a big problem worrying about what other people think. You know I find myself doing the same thing when Jim is around and some days I am a fumbling idiot when he shows up. Confidence is KEY.

Minorities-thanks to rangers

Hi Kenn, thanks for your service! Most of the Rangers i have meant are good guys, insane focus and crazy tough physically and MENTALLY.

As for minorities, many of the Asplundh and Daveys around here are Mexicano. The crews sent to clear HWY 79 were Guatemalans brought in from Texas. Mexicanos and Chicanos in SoCal have been more taditionally into landscaping an Masonry. I predict more and more will become tree guys as they learn trade from Asplundh. Believe it or not, we (Mexican people) have strong tradition in small business.


Murph, are the Latino guys in your group photos from Mexico? Are they Chicano or more recent immigrants? I am always suprized at where Mexican people live in the good old USA. I even found Mexicanos with a good restaurant in Fairbanks AK!!!!


To the gent from Germany, I think most Northern Europeans are pretty cool about race, although I have met some Germans who were a little funny about Brown and Black skinned Americans.

As for the original question, I think it is a matter of exposure to the industry. In the Metro San Diego area there are pretty able Mxicano/Chicnao climbers who just lack the formal trianing in arboriculture and climbing technique, They tend to bid cheap, and work only in the metro area. Do a lot of either good or HACK work on Eucs by canyons. If PB tree is from our PB he can probably elaboraate.
