You raise an important legal point, Glenn: if fertilizer is good for
plants in general but bad for dandelions in particular, is it a
violation of the civil rights of dandelion-worshipers to have dandelions
killed by fertilizing them on public property?
I'd be surprised if there is much case law on this subject. The closest
issue I can think of, is the concern that Hindu cattle-worshipers may
feel about the raising of beef cattle for slaughter on vast portions of
the Western range. Does it violate the rights of Hindu citizens to have
cows that are raised on a public range slaughtered?
I don't know. But UC-list is read by many reputable lawyers. What is
their opinion on this question? I defer.
Until this question is settled, it might be wise for West Philadelphia
dandelion-worshipers to grow a supply sufficient for sacramental
purposes on their own property. I doubt they can succeed in ordering the
City of Philadelphia to grow dandelions for them. Owners of multiple
properties should be able to generate enough dandelions for their
personal needs.

Why did the dandelions die out at the same time the fertilizer was
introduced? That question remains to be addressed. How did the grass and dandelion in
the poor soil survive prior to UCD salvation? Were the whores, drug addicts and gang
members fertilizing the park when we weren't looking?
