Any one else have a problem with plants that grow legs and walk away?

i hate to say this, but evil nurserymen have been stealing saguaro cacti for
more than 30 years!! they dig up young babies and take them back to their
city floral shops and/or nurseries and sell them for HOUSE PLANTS!

and then, too, are the ever wise folk of phoenix, arizona who decided to
turn phoenix into an agricultural wonderland and proceeded to put in
irrigation canals which aid in adding humidity to a land which is supposed
to be arid and they, too, have aided in the "stealing" of saguaro and other
cacti by killing the native climate. saguaro and other cacti need aridity;
too much humidity causes their death.

gee, arizona may have to change their state tree from the saguaro to russian
olives before much longer. (sigh) another wonderful mechanical disease.
we can add this to the list with kudzu and water hyacinths.
