And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
State Law in SC - you can't cut down a Live Oak unless if it's in the footprint of new construction. And then you must get governmental appearance commission approval. The new HarrisTeeter (grocery store) in Beaufort had to deal with that. Kept 3, cut 4-5. But, the parking spaces under those have shade and are the favorite ones. As the old Southern saying goes "The best parking space isn't the one nearest the store's front door. It's the one with the most shade."
The middle of the road ... ain't no private cul-de-sac I can't get from the car to the curb without some little jerk on my back ~ Doctor Weasel (quoting Chrissy Hynde)
I would bet that the tree was there for a century or two before the road.
