290. Not at all

your son should take a nice hike through the woods with his grandfather, who would teach him to respect Nature through binoculars--not scopes. Blowing grouse away and bringing food to the table is some old dude's fantasy about being a Squire and providing for his family. Only it's retro now. But don't worry until the old ways die off you're safe.

I dream of a future where humans and animals can walk in the woods without fear of people who have to feel like they "own it" carrying deadly obsolete weaponry. It's primitive and barbaric. Killing birds for fun and eating them if you don't NEED the food is especially weird. Fetishistic. Think about it.

Don't worry --there will never be any laws against it in this country. All I'm asking is...think about it.
