: *Grumble Grumble* I hope, Lark, that when you say "snare," you're not referring to the device which constricts around an animal's neck and slowly strangles it to death.The thing's John had where cruel and basic, perhaps that's why he felt guilty, I only 'snare' with suffisticated devices that break necks instantiously, although nothing perfect.
:Anyway, even if you're not using that, stop it, for pete's sake. At least the foxes are eating the rodents around your bro's house, and besides, it's not their fault your brother keeps rabbits (share the world, share the world).
Alright, alright, hey I like watching the foxes, but the rabbits have Miximitosus too and I dont want that being transmitted.
: I agree with you; there's warm and fuzzy survivalism, which I favor, and there's the right wing black helicopter variety, which I don't.
Bit like me then mate, a fireside tree hugger who views the world in a Janus faced manner, one way looking, in the spirit of the enlightenment, to a time when public life and the economy can be rationally planned, the other way looking, back at a time when people struggled with harsh conditions to live.
: Yes, but I'm talking about handguns, not rifles. It's hard to hide a rifle in your coat pocket or glove compartment, but handguns just make it easier for, as Elvis C. once sang, another person to take a little finger and blow you away.
I know, it's rough, we have the same thing in over drive here and the guns are prohibited. Then there's the Steven Laurance case in England where a black kid, who didn't look scary or anything to me, got butchered by a bunch of evil looking white hoods, the police botched the entire case, ignored a list of tip off's left on a Cop Car window, exposed informants and disregarded and mishandled video evidence of the white hoods discussing white power and the best way to kill someone with a machete.
Increase the peace.
: Agreed. Also, cowboys in Montana, for example, fail to realize that their support of handgun ownership (on the argument that there's not much handgun-related death going on in their neighborhoods) condemns city dwellers to high levels of handgun violence. Will these cowboys make a sacrifice for the sake of urban (read, non-white) lives? So far, the answer is no.
How are you going to persuade them though? By the way I've seen evidence, and not the weirdy militia variety, that indicates your government may just have been as trigger happy at Waco as the nutbars in the compound, that'd equally concern me if I where you, I mean remember McCarthyism and the KKK.
: It's GREAT! But it's also the 5th volume of a two-part trilogy. The first is "Sundiver," then "Startide Rising" (my personal fave), then "The Uplift War," after that, he took a few years off and recently put out "Brightness Reef," then "Infinity's Shore," and the last one just came out, but I don't know its name.
It's sci-fi right? Can you give me the jist, have you ever read Terry Pratchett?
Cheers,
Lark
