It would seem that you portray plants as having far more awareness, volition
and prescience than has ever been even suggested via scientific (and even
un-scientific) observation.

I'm as much in awe of the fabric of life as the next guy, but such lofty
pseudo-religious ascriptions seem a bit out of place here.  Could we please
focus on the facts as we know them?

Respectfully,

Todd.
