Man, I’ll tell ya. I think its high time to change the format of local news. Since I’m only a reader, I have not a chance in H e w hockey sticks to change it. But that don’t mean I won’t try.
Now I know this is huntin country, but there are still those of us who would rather read about the beauty of, and watch the habitat, than hunt it. So how about a recurring insert called Watching & Habitat.
I think its time the public got a chance to be fairly represented, by an opposing viewpoint. I mean look here. I had the privilege of reading the graffiti on the westbound side of the mile post 172 exit overpass, KILL ECOLOGY FREAKS for quite some time. Never, never, have I seen Graffiti with a statement such as, real hunters shoot blanks. I mean, why else would they trick animals, by saying "dinner time" bang.
I would wager, there are more, non hunters, than hunters. Were just not as vocal. When we voice up, were hung on the local overpass. Maybe, if we had a local newspaper, that would allow some opposition to the loudtalking minority. We could move in a positive direction.
I can just see it now, 2050. Not a wild horse left, hamburger, is $50.00 a pound, (never did have anything to do with the price of hay). A hummer tooling through nature , loudspeaker blaring a taped recording of lambs at slaughter. Dinner time.
Whenever there is an opportunity to do something a "different" way. Some loud talking, non changing, narrow minded, good citizen comes along as says, its a way of life. Think about that , Elmer Fud.
How come all the hints for getting a job are about writing resumes, getting to the office on time and sitting up straight, Never, never do they suggest, flexing your musscles or kissing ass in the interview. Want to know why, because your a blue collor worker and none of it is for you, you big dumb furniture mover.
