This was an interesting little stroll through history, @malay11. You didn't quite get all of it correct (such as, for instance, the 9/11 stuff as well as the reason we entered into the Iraq War in 2003, etc.), but I'm not here to call you out on historical inaccuracies :P Where I'm from, the banyan trees are referred to as Taotao Mona trees, and we believe that they house the spirits of our ancestors, the Ancient Chamorros. They are treated with much respect, and if they are not, then it is said that the spirits dwelling in the Taotao Mona trees that we did not give proper respect to will make us sick. Interesting post! :)
