I don't look at the world as a woman who should be raped.

And guess what, I'm going to win, and you're going to lose, and you know it.

You'll win some battles. It may even appear that you're winning the war for a time, but when Joe Sixpack is paying $1000/month to heat his house well then I'll win the war.

Typical -- it's all about $$ and cents.

I'll take his word for it.

You are just simple-minded. Mike is so well-read on so many topics that he knows MUCH more about this than your grandpa!

Do you think wolves and mountain lions are "garbage animals"?

No. I didn't say that. But I will always defer to those with a lifetime of real experience in a field over someone who subscribesto enviro-whacko weekly.

So the person who best understands the morals and ethics of rape, is a rapist?

And you wonder why people think you're a troll. You might consider that using such inflammatory language indicates that you are incapable of rational thought on the topic at hand.

You think that because someone engages in an activity at a locale, that they actually have considered the ethics and longterm health of the area, and know what's best?

I don't.

I don't.

I don't believe outsiders who are unfamiliar with a practice, have nothing invested in it, should be able to pontificate and act as if they know what's best.

If ranchers had enough votes to dictate to city dwellers how to run their businesses, you'd hear more than bloody murder being screamed. A non-invested outsider or do-gooder environmentalist always knows best when it's not his land involved.
