Well, another successful deer hunting season is in full swing here in the land of illiterate presidentes.  I tried to stick a "Darwin Index" up in the doctor's lounge at the hospital, with various different tallies:  Deer killed; Deer maimed;  Hunters shot;  C-Spines fractured falling drunk out of tree stands;  alas, I'm in the minority and it was decreed that I could not display such a sarcastic and seditious score card.  So I just hold my tongue while trying not to gape at the moronic nature of our species. 

Case in point...I don't know if you Canucks got this story or not.  Just south of here, near Hayward Wisconsin, 2 guys are going back to the cabin for a couple of cold ones.  They see someone in a tree stand, sniping for Bambi.  They radio the stand owners, asking if anyone should be there.  The owners say "no", so the hunters approach the stand and ask the guy to come down.  He does, and they ask him to leave the private property.  He complies, and starts to walk away.  When he's about 40 yards away, he suddenly turns around and plinks both the hunters with an SKS assault rifle.  A fallen hunter radioes for help.  As help arrives, Rambo systematically blows them away, some of them as they run away and he pursues them.  The final tally: 6 dead, 2 still in serious condition.  Some of the locals say "well yes, this bothers us but we're dyed(died?) in the wool hunters and we'll keep coming anyway".  Am I crazy here?  Why is it ok to hunt with an assault rifle?  When I moved down here I thought Alan Rock and the People's Liberal Republic of Canadaski were nuts demanding that hunters keep their weapons at the police station.  Now I'm not so sure they aren't right.  The jackasses in the NRA(National Rifle Association or Numbbrained Redneck Assholes) hide behind the Second Amendment(the right to bear arms) and say that the government will take over if we outlaw assault rifles and concealed handguns.  BALDERDASH!!!!!  This craziness allows unstable lunatics to bear arms that have one purpose only(uh George, assault is illegal and a bad thing), the taking of large numbers of human lives in a short time.  Will outlawing them stop all nauseating wastes like this?  No, but they are too easy to obtain and use. We license the stupid things.

Actually, a new NRA policy kind of makes sense.  Their philosophical spin on things has been that if everyone is armed, then everyone will be afraid and not shoot each other.  Well, what a great way to live, eh?  But the new suggestion might have saved lives.  How, you ask friend?  If the hunters on the ground had had a GRENADE LAUNCHER, they could have taken out Sylvester Stallone BEFORE he took them out.  Now why didn't I think of that?
