In the Suburbs, What to Do About a Deer
Washington Post ^ | September 12, 2002 | Bob Levey

Posted on 09/13/2002 6:01:11 AM PDT by SJackson

It was a Friday evening, and Cynthia Fain was off to do an errand. As she came out of her apartment complex in Gaithersburg, "I saw a deer lying on the side of the road," Cynthia says. "I realized he had just been hit by a motorist."

Cynthia approached the obviously dying animal "to see what help I could offer." Meanwhile, a security guard called Montgomery County police, and a crowd (including several children) began to gather.

"I sat on the curb and stroked the deer's head," Cynthia writes. "He responded by opening his eyes and putting his head in my hands. . . . I wished that everyone could feel what I felt at that moment."

One man very clearly did not.

Even though the deer was not yet dead, the man told the crowd that he would "take care of it." Cynthia and the security guard asked him what he meant. He said he would drag the deer off to a grassy patch nearby and butcher it.

That's right! I just beat you at your own game. If you can't take it- go to the Disney web site! Stick around here, and I'll school your ass!!

Stick around here? Little boy, I was around here before you came and I'll be after you are gone. Your personal attacks are just confirmation of what anyone can see if they are bored enough to look at your childish profile. Have you graduated high school yet?

Now back to the book burning. You advocate burning books you do not agree with. You will not find too many confederates here even among the most authoritarian posters. I ask again, what on earth are you doing on this site? Doesn't the Nazi party have a website where you can hang out with other book burners?

Run along little boy.

You seem to have a big problem with Freedom of Speech. Can it be that you're also a pseudo-patriot hiding behind the name of one of the greatest founding fathers?

When I initally mentioned banning the cartoon film "Bambi" I was just venting my frustration. As a hunter, I get really disgusted with those who oppose hunting based on that damnable cartoon, which has no basis in reality. I realize that they have every Right to be as ignorant and uninformed as they want to be, but I still consider their vancant arguments a form of noise pollution!

Tommy- I'm equally disgusted with you! So what if I make a crack about banning that stupid cartoon? We do have Freedom of Speech in this country. I can say anything I want- no matter how wrong, or politically incorrect it may be! As long as my speech doesn't endanger the lives of other people (such as yelling "fire" in the proverbial crowded movie theatre) I can say any damn thing I want to say- whether you like it or not! I'm not looking for confederates, cronies, toadies, lackies, goons, or approval from idiots.

Before you go labeling someone else's speech Nazism you should take a long, hard look in the mirror! I realize that this may be a hard habit for a knee jerk Liberal to break. If you don't like what's being said, then don't listen!

I would die to defend your right to be a moron. I never said you shouldn't say what you like. And I can say what I want. I can say that you advocate book burning. Because you did. That's what free speech is all about. You get to say dumb things and reveal your true feelings about things, and I get to point them out and highlight them.

Just for the record, I'll set the record straight on the books you advocating burning. I asked;"Any books you want burned while you're at it?" You said this;
Since YOU asked, I can think of two: "It Takes A Village" by Hillary Clinton, and "Earth In The Balance" by Al Gore.

Just to make sure you don't get away with misleading people. Now run along kid and finish your homework before you play your video games.

More like you'd die trying to take my Right of Free Speech away!

Who is trying to mislead whom? If you will recall you asked me point blank, if there were any books that I'd like to burn,and I gave you an honest answer. You didn't say anything about banning those works just burning. Personally, I think those particular books are such garbage that they should be burned. Maybe you should give a little more thought to your questions (and answers).

While we're on the subject of setting the record straight here's your exact quote from a previous post: "Doesn't the Nazi party have a website where you can hang out with other book burners?" It sure sounds like you're calling me a Nazi, and a book burner for exercising my Right of Free Speech! Care to comment on your lie?

We've got tons of deer around here, chewing my landscaping down. I've put in nothing but plants that they supposedly don't like, but they'll still chew on some of them. Still, I can't bring myself to shoot them, although I shoo them off every time I see them.

We also have coyotes around here, they howl up a storm every night. I don't shoot at them either. I figure the coyotes will help keep the deer down, meanwhile I'll let them sort it all out. Sometimes they'll come and howl right outside my windows!

SOUNDS like it to you. I never called you that.

and a book burner for exercising my Right of Free Speech!

Can't read either. I never ever suggested anything whatsoever like you shouldn't have free speech. I'm glad you do, it exposes people like you and your idiotic agendas. Nazi's burned books, so did Commies and other authoritarian morons. I merely suggest you would be more in place on a website like those. You have things in common with them. And very little if anything in common with those on this website.

Care to comment on your lie?

Have you stopped beating your grandmother? Nice try.

I didn't lie, you did. And laughably, you now try to back off and say you only wanted to put a match yourself personally to those books you don't agree with. LOL That's rich. Rather sophmoric though. I had you figured for at least a high school junior.

Grow up junior.

Another thing that Commies and Nazis have in common with you is that they don't like Free Speech either!

Beating my Grandmother, huh? Well that's a sick thought, since they're both deceased. I expect as much from the likes of you. I'm not going to speculate as to what you could be beating right now.

Once again for the record: In Post 26 you said- Any books you want burned while you're at it?

My response:"Boy, you don't miss a beat do you? Since YOU asked, I can think of two: "It Takes A Village" by Hillary Clinton, and "Earth In The Balance" by Al Gore. If that makes me a bad American in your opinion, well, then I don't have to tell you what you can do with your opinion!"

My smart alec remark is the basis for your entire baseless argument! Again, I didn't say anything about banning those books. I still feel that the content of each of those books is such utter garbage that the books are only fit for burning! Sorry if my speech offends you, but again no one is forcing you to listen.

No, actually. One hangs cow because it tenderizes the meat - the fat is integral, and begins decomposition, leaving the meat softer.

Dear fat is all on the outside, like in a sock - hanging helps not-at-all.

There is a great Learning-Chanel type special on this, but the point is - Let the deer bleed out, and butcher it.

Does not work for deer - no fat inside, enzymes can't feed. Just butcher it.

By the way, without fat, you can't digest it - so mix deer sausage with pork. Ummmmmmmmmm.

Actually, what I've always wanted to do is get a right-hand drive vehicle, put the deer inside in the passenger (left) side, then drive down the road and watch people's looks.

Oh, I see. You pick a fight with me, and then run away when you start getting the worst of it. Not the first time that has happened. That suits me fine. Catch you next time around!
