I'm not sure. Speaking as an extremely silly person, I'm liable to go barefoot, or do anything. But I think we should all be self-aware about these matters if possible. Like I said at the start, it was a nice tree, I like trees. I think it was mainly a nice tree because it was nicely framed, though, and in a movie with Kevin Costner and that awful Bryan Adams song in it. The subsequent snowballing of sentimentality around the significance of the material traces of the memory of the tree in the significant movie is ... it all has a wild memetic life of its own. I don't suppose it's harmful, but it's a strange outgrowth. The main point I'm making here is not so much "stop being silly" as "oh, look at that".
