One of the few constants in our chaotic world is the meddlesome nature of many people – usually, but not always liberals, to try to change the way we do things in the western world. We eat too much. We use too much oil and gas. We spew too many toxic fumes into the atmosphere. We're too wealthy. We're a bunch of arrogant, greedy people who just don't care about the world we live in.

My mom raised me to know better than to eat bugs.

Looks like what we call a shovel nose lobster here.
Rare and tasty like their spiney brothers. Ummmmm,

When I see EVERYONE in the UN chowing down on bugs, I will at least give the idea a nano-second of consideration.

last time I ate a bug was when I was a teenager. About 50 mph on my dirt bike.
