I Live in Alaska, for every hunter we have here, there's at least one "I'd rather see a human killed than an animal" looney. We get people putting food out for the bears, then getting all upset when a bear has to be dealt with because it starts charging people in their own yard. Those people always blame others for the bear claiming the people who hunt attract the bears intentionally just so they can kill them. A friend of mine videotaped his neighbor putting out food, and cleaning it up in the morning so they wouldn't get in trouble for it. It frustrates me because they NEVER get into any trouble for it, but shoot an animal 5 minutes outside the hunting season, or 5 feet out of bounds, or mis-judge it's antler size by a fraction of an inch, and you're getting fined, losing your hunting license, possibly going to jail. I know a guy that got caught stealing a guy's legally-deployed traps, and all he had to do was give them back, no fine, nothing. We have police that are too much of cowards to be honest and stand up to the bunny-huggers, so when a guy shoots a bear in his yard with a bow-and-arrow, they try, at the urging of others (which is not how it is supposed to work), and ticket the guy for "discharging a firearm within city limits". First, that law doesn't apply when you have a reason, it doesn't take away your right to defend yourself. Second, and more obviously, a Bow ISN'T A FIREARM. The KEY word in FIREARM, is FIRE.

Actually, I didn't know that about animal protection/child abuse laws, that's interesting to know. Not that surprising considering how children were treated and thought of up until just a century or two ago.

I do understand a bit of people's position on such manner. I've never known an animal to be as annoying as some of the people I work with. Not by a long shot. . .

texas could divide into five states if it wanted to...

But if we were to divide Alaska in half, Texas would be the THIRD biggest state.

I have been so bored for the last 5 days, it's actually painful

Yeah, Alaska's a big place. I meant it's a little known legal right given to Texas, that it could if its people chose, divide into five states.

I've got a neat little map that shows how that division might go, courtesy of a friend of mine from down there. Seems like many of the events of my recent life have centered around Texans, or at least people living in Texas.

It's been a wee tad chilly out lately, & I've misplaced my bomber cap.

On the other hand, Saturday, I found that I've lost just enough weight, that I can (painfully) squeeze back into my old leather pants. I hope to get them broken in before it actually gets cold outside.

So, in the spirit of the season, I've decided that I'm going to wear them every day this week as an expression of giving thanks to all things dead... except maybe Thursday, because I might wanna', you know, "eat something".

Rebbecca's reeeeaaallly gonna' hate me, tomorrow.

I've been re-watching "Comfort Zone" for hours at a time, all week long.

Small children and dogs are usually great judges of character.

OD-ing on chocolate feels nothing like being in love.

Belgium won't last through the next decade.

Every girl named Erica or Jessica is hot.

I remain hopeful that Lost isn't lost.

Ten-thousand single-parent families on welfare for life couldn't equal what the government tosses away in corporate welfare in a year.

Invisible sharks have been known to live in childrens' swimming pools.

The people responsible for sewing on the correct dress size labels must surely go to work stoned.

This is the creepiest place I visited on a school field trip: http://www.angelfire.com/ky3/venthaven/fom/figure.html

My worst indoor fall was UP a staircase in 2001.

Sooner or later they all say, "I swear, that was an accident."

For the love of all creatures great and small, no one post anything so funny poor ghouck laughs.

Pace yourself, ER.  You've given out a month's worth of random thoughts today.  I can't think my own random thoughts that fast, much less try to consider yours also!

[LilCerberus]

These pants are killing me.
I can't take them off... MUST... OFFEND... VEGANS!

I'll re-watch Comfort Zone, & set it on loop for the next hour.
That'll take my mind off it.
