No Hunting

[superbadgirl]

No hunting, but meanwhile - across the road, we have them bringing in dirt and leveling it for ... construction of apartments. Yep, don't hunt the elk, squeeze 'em out instead. Grrrr.

Interesting fact: I discussed my views on this with my ultra-Republican father this weekend. He agreed with my every point, but bring up conservation and the environment he flips suddenly. It's not uncommon for people to not follow a direct straight-down-the-middle political path, of course, but it makes me wonder how he can sincerely justify voting one way for two issues (guns and fetuses). Ah well, if there's one thing on this planet I will never figure out, it's people.

Interesting fact II: my dad also agrees with me about Walmart, which has virtually killed my hometown's other commerce. He volunteers at a food pantry and says that Walmart gets so much praise for donating their past due or bruised produce, yet he said they've been told the people who pay for it are really the suppliers, not Walmart itself. So, Walmart gets the credit for philanthropy they have little to do with and people eat it up.

Again, I do not begrudge people who shop Walmart. I just cannot bring myself to do it.
