Here's Timothy, about to feed the bears...

There was a nut case named Timothy Treadwell who fancied himself a modern Grizzly Adams. He was a troubled young man, a drug addict with many troubles in his short life.
He became fascinated with the idea of living among the brown bears of the Alaskan wilderness apparently as some sort of homemade therapy to ease his troubled mind. For several years he trekked to this wild place and talked to the bears filming, himself as he did so. He imagined they knew him and were his “friends”.
In the end, he and his equally troubled girl friend, were eaten alive by the very bears that they thought were their "friends". He should have expected it. Bears are not cuddly stuffed animals. They are the most powerful and savage creatures of their world. They have no use for touchy-feely nuts from California cooing and talking baby talk to them. They have one-track minds. Kill and eat. That's it. It isn't too complicated.
Late last year a group of anti-American "Christians" went to Iraq to coo and talk baby talk to the radical Islamists who have been kidnapping and chopping off the heads of their enemies.
As soon as they got to Iraq, three of them were kidnapped by the very people these peace advocates had come to Iraq to speak for.
Today they found the body of Tom Fox, a member of that Christian Peace group that went to Iraq to display solidarity with the Islamofascist insurgents.

He ended up fighting for the ones with the axes, then ended up on the wrong end of the axe because of it.
In the end, he and his equally troubled girl friend, were eaten alive by the very bears that they thought were their "friends".
If you ever get a chance to watch the movie "Grizzly Man" about Timothy Treadwell I HIGHLY recommend it. It really shows just how insane he and his nutty liberal friends were. The bear footage though is really good...
My conclusion. What a nut. His "friends" were all nuts too, because they didn't do anything to stop him.
Probably the only smart guy was the native guy who ran the museum. When asked, "Didn't Treadwell protect the bears?", he just sort of looked puzzled and said, "Treadwell did more harm than good."
The coroner was a bit creepy, like he enjoyed being on camera a bit too much.
But it made for some great entertainment...
Shameless, unabashed Darwin... the purist essence of what the award was created for.
This is a cautionary tale. Both this peace activist & Treadwell crossed the invisible line between man & beasts.
As well as sanity and insanity!

Until I read this, I was feeling sorry for Tom Fox.....I don't now.
