I'm not so quick to say never,there have been lots of "nevers" and "cant's" that have become yes.People said they ain't never gonna get no man on dat der moon,you can't bend no branches on dem boxwoods,you can't grow no darn baldcypress' in water pots,you can't use bar branches on dem bonsais.I say let them try,it's a big world.Science and the spirt of learning new things may prove worth something. |
