Sure, with a great deal of effort, you MAY get a few to grow, but they won't flourish. Entirely different landscape, and climate.

Might this be an example of what you're talking about ?

" We must keep the streets of our city open for the delivery of food supplies, war materials, and readily accessible for our fire department. Therefore, I am appealing to the people of this city to volunteer in assisting us to keep open the sewer basins located at every street intersection and also to keep the crosswalks in as good condition as possible for the pedestrians. And we are also appealing to volunteers, volunteers who will be willing to do a little snow shoveling right in their own block." - NYC Mayor Laguardia - 1943

" Stay indoors to the maximum extent possible. Stay out of your cars to the maximum extent possible. Don't go out. We want to make sure people are safe. We want 'em to be in a warm location -- and, crucially, we want to keep our streets clear so the good men and women of the sanitation department can ensure that our streets are plowed and salted. It's very important people get home as soon as possible tonight. Get to a safe, warm place. Stay off the streets." - NYC Mayor De Blasio, 2014

Get out, lend a hand, and help out vs Stay indoors, do nothing, and let US take care of it all.

There WAS no holocaust.
Nixon was not a crook.
Clinton did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.
Saddam had WMD and was a threat to America.
Obama closed down the government.
Man is too small & puny to be able to have any lasting negative effects on Earth's environment.

There, can I have your vote now?

90% of kids that come out of college are straight up morons. It's probably not their fault. The education system all the way up to the top except for the very brightest and/or the very richest kids is total BS, including most college educations.
