  As a good gardener,

  
  

  I know this to be true:

  
  

   

  
  

  When you plant a shrub

  
  

  you hope it will grow into a healthy,

  
  

  productive addition to the landscape.

  
  

   

  
  

  But if instead it turns out to be,

  
  

  not a harmless vegetable,

  
  

  but a noxious weed --

  
  

   

  
  

  the best course of action

  
  

  is to pull it out

  
  

   

  
  

  and plant something else

  
  

  that will hopefully fill the space

  
  

  in a more favorable manner.

  
  

   

  
  

  However, if the opportunity is missed,

  
  

  the only thing left to do

  
  

   

  
  

  is to hope it doesn't grow out of control,

  
  

  and obliterate the rest of your garden

  
  

  before it runs it's natural course.

  
  

   

  
  

  

  
  

  God(dess) Bless America

  
  

  We surely need it.
