Hmm, wanting the virtual knife out of our backs is now defined as "blood lust"?
My, how times have changed...
But you are not too stupid to (re)construct and order the perfect world - eh, mr. (ms.) self-rightous environmentalist?
When I was a teenager I confess to being a rabid anti environmentalist.
Stewardship, responsible stewardship, is somthing that should be practiced by all.
However, taking my rights as a free born and soverign human away, under the guise of environmentalism is just another word for socialism initially, when you enforce that with a gun it is communism.
And I have seen both grizzlies and black bears in the woods, I studiously avoided them, and made sure my 44 Mag was close by my hand. Frankly, I felt less like a potential meal and more like a person with a chance. I would never venture into the deep woods without a fire arm.
It is my God given right to defend my life.
But know that I applaud your concern for the environment. Now just develop the same level of concern for your personal freedom and try to find a way to make the two co exist in your life.
