[hang 'em]

Please tell me this is satire.

[grimalkin]

What in the world!!?? This is absolutely nuts!

[Revolting cat!]

This story confirms my long held belief: in the end, we're all criminals!

[Semper Paratus]

Sure, its a hate crime.
arachnaphobia.

[aomagrat]

A clear case of why we need assault broom legislation.

[linn37]

whew I was scared for a minute that it was true,boy do I feel dumb.

[arly]

This is a joke ...right?.... Right?...

[occam's chainsaw]

funny...maybe it should have been posted in "General Interest" rather than "News/Activism", ya think?

[Wolfie]

Guy's a regular Johnny Rico.

[Travis McGee]

Laz, you got competition!

[headsonpikes]

"...hateful destruction of arachnid habitat...: BTTT!

Caught in a web of lies and hate, these anti-spider types must be purged from society!!!

...and their precious bodily fluids drained for spider orphans to consume. ;^)

[Gargantua]

It's like I'm always reminding my wife... brooms don't kill; people do.

Have the spiders stopped screaming, Clarice? ;-)

[Phantom Lord]

This may be satire, but this is what would happen to you if an endangered species or "habitat" was found on your property. While this article is presented as a joke, it is NOT a joke. It is real.

[galt-jw]

arent there enough real examples of the loss of property rights in the US?

If you think you own your property, which is taxed (so who owns it?), not if some elite bug or animal lives there.

[Andyman]

If only they had quoted they guy's wife, Charlotte.

Condyle, Colulus, Thorax, and Clypeus are all parts of a spider's body.

[d14truth]

Would cranial spaces in the liberal mind be considered arachnid habitat? That would be my only conclusion as to why those 'eggheads' haven't been 'cleaned out' since the '40s.

[alnick]

Obviously satire, but a small preview of what the U.S. under a Gore presidency might be like.

[lowbridge]
