Re: Timothy Treadwell

all

I do not claim to be from bear country or know about them in any way. That is why my observation is so poinient. I was at yellow stone some time back and I observed many cars pulled over during a drive by nature walk. I stopped and got out of my car near where the other cars were parked. It was then that I spied a GRIZZLY Bear. No shit, a Grizzly bear. Since I had never seen such a bear before, I was amaized but not distracted from the primitive brain signals that said to me "that thing could eat my sixteen year old and I would not be able to do a damn thing about it." I sstayed close to my car, ie one foot in one foot out.

It was about this time that I saw a woman dragging two peices of bear bate (2 year old children) as she walked along the road that paralleled the location of the the bear . Why? I'm glad you asked; to get a closer look at that animal. believe me, she had no where to go if that bear decided to have a little snack or a full meal deal. fortunately it did not happen. but it does happen from time to time and the bear is the one that gets his hand slapped.

The upshot of my story, I think that there should be a easy test that everyone must take before entering public land where these type of animal live. not a hard test but an easy one, perhaps a flash card with a picture of bears, lion, pumas and tigers, elk, moose buffalo elephants etc. once you can identify them and and what each likes to eat, such as nuts and berries or MEAT then you can enter the park.

Re: Timothy Treadwell

Something tells me that Bears have been eating people since the dawn of time,this is right of passage for many carnivores.
We, on the other hand have the capability to write history about bear flatulance!

Re: Timothy Treadwell

Has anybody ever thought: "How nice it is to be on TOP of the food-chain." Our distant ancestors worked hard to make it happen and we are the beneficiaries. They worked this out through strategies built on mutual support. Like -- "runaway then we'll all turn and run the lion through with our pointy stick, Ugh you go first."

Most likely nobody has ever thanked them for it. So except for the occasional Bear, Croc, and Shark attack... Thanks! I appreciate what you've done to make my life less scary and my family safe.

Now if we could just stop killing each other, we'd have it all.
With regards;

What is the "Politically Incorrect Gas Station"?

Is it something I should see first hand?

Re: Timothy Treadwell

Shakespeare was right.....

That being said, ownership of a Taylorcraft balances out most of the other defects and what not. I'm sure the Bard would make an exception for a Taylorcraft owner, if of course old Bill knew what a Taylorcraft was.

As an old member of the bar, gonna have to call somebody on what the Great Bard said. Shakespeare wasn't calling for the lawyers to be snuffed. The lines were tongue in cheek and meant the opposite of what he said in the play. Irony, friends, irony. Ol' Jake Butcher, Shax's lawyer-killer character, was a thug who had usurped power in England and if he killed the lawyers, usurpation could be accomplished that much more easily.

The *second* thing let's do, Butcher said as he tyrannized England, was to kill everyone who reads and writes, and the first lettered person he saw was strung up with his pen and inkwell around his neck and hanged.

Read the play. See what I'm talking about. It's funny too. Back to Taylorcrafts.
