Invasive vines... Any suggestions...?


Has anyone noticed some of the aggressive vines growing around here?  I'm relatively new to gardening, so maybe they have always been an issue, but yousa...  There is a vine in the neighbor's back yard (bordering on our back yard) that is actually reaching up, up, up... and strangling a beautiful maple tree...  And another one (it looks like a wild grape vine, but it is fuzzy) that keeps popping up as quick as I tear it down.  Suggestions anyone?

"Dogville" Movie Promo and Snippets - You Tube - Graphic Content - Adults Only

["Dogville Trailer"; You Tube Video; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rPllm4WEXw ]

Note:  This movie has actually been out for a long time now - but may be hard to locate.  If interested, my best guess is to try an internet search or a library.

["Gathering - Dogville"; You Tube Video; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLEPyg3eoog&feature=related ]

This movie gets off to a very slow start - and it is entirely different than the majority of movies I have seen in my lifetime...

Still - traumatic as the movie is [and for me it was very...] I think every adult should see it and think about the implications. 

This world will not - in my opinion - change for the better - until we hold perpetrators - at all levels - accountable [penal system wise; financially; etc.] for their actions.

I also believe every fine collected for an offense perpetrated against humanity, be it targeting one person or a nation - should be put into a victims [and their families] legal fund. 

Why should low income perps get free legal counsel - and thier victims have to [this, if they even can...] pay full pop for legal representation?

This movie is a powerful thought-provoker.  It is also heartrending enough that it made me physically sick.
