That is based upon your firm belief today. Based upon your track record
of making 180 degree reversals in your core beliefs, I am sure in the
next few years, we will see you standing on a box in downtown Washington
DC or Baltimore preaching about your personal relationship with the
Lord, and passing out religious tracts. At that point anyone who does
not follow your form of religious beliefs will be condemned to eternal
damnation.


Yawn. Any chance in the next few years, you'll visit the wizard, get
some courage, and stop worrying so much that someone might figure out
who you are? (which, by the way, has already been done)

I know, there are many people who know who I am, where I live and my
phone number. You are one of the few who doesn't.

Feel free to give me a call or send me email anytime you want to chit
chat. You can also share that info with anyone you want. You have
always wanted to know my given name, address and phone number so now
that you know, this should be a moot point.

Did you find out from the same person who told you Florida Jim's
"personal info".

I was skimming over some of the other threads, are you know a brave
hunter who enjoys killing Bambi and thumper?

Are you know?

What language is that?

If you are asking if I hunt animals or shoot animals, the answer is no.

Why do you have such disdain for folks that hunt air breathing creatures but
find fishing acceptable?

Because I can. I don't think stalking animals in the woods, and then
shooting them from 200 yards away with a high-powered rifle and scope is
"sport." I'm also disgusted these days by those who fish for sharks and
other mostly inedible pelagics for the "sport" of it.

There's absolutely nothing "manly" about shooting deer or doves or most
other harmless creatures.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with *thinning* the herd. It's good
conservation. I don't condone the killing if the meat is wasted.

What isn't *harmless* about the creatures of lakes/sea that are fished from
the end of a line where the creature cannot see his enemy?

Seems a bit hypocritical to me.

My point about hunting and it has been the same for years is that it is
not sport, not in the way I would define sport. It's just semi-organized
slaughter of harmless animals.

The few times I have watched hunting shows on TV I've been astonished by
the "mystique" of the hosts, who think it is something miraculous to
stalk the woods, climb up into a tree, call in a male deer with scent or
sound, and then...shoot it. That's sport? Even worse are the brave white
hunters who stalk sheep. Sheep? Jesus.

Now, hunting with a longbow, that is something that requires lots of
skill and some balls, because you usually have to get close enough to an
animal to risk getting injured.

I've never claimed fishing was "manly," although fishing successfully
where you cannot see your potential catch does seem to require more
skill than looking through a scope and pulling a trigger. Fly fishing
requires a good deal of skill.

I don't fish very seriously these days. Sometimes I don't even bait my
hook.
