When you remove bark from a tree, you get wood. Wood is useful for many things but to call it a liberated tree or to call it a tree independent of its bark would be using those terms in a corrupt fashion. At some point wood is no longer a part of the forest and can not even be termed a tree. You can't say it is the fault of the wood for being useful or that it is not of the tree's nature. Wood is used according to those who have a purpose for it. When you remove decency, moral principle, and personal honor from a human being, you get a person who is able to do many things which a person bound in a moral code of decency could not be used for. The biggest difference is, human beings make a choice about whether to be used or not. Personally I think it is a waste for human beings to shed their bark and allow themselves to be used.

Tools...no bark.
