Well, it seems that the lizard brain in all of us was just a little 
stronger in those brave "great white hunters" who risked great danger,
such as steping in deer poop, to rid the world of these savage beasts.
	There is a great need in this type of grunt to be MACHO-MAN,
to prove to there buddies what a REAL MAN they are.  This is also the
type of idiot that has a pack of mauler-burro cancer sticks in his 
pocket, ready on a moments notice to start a forrest or prairie fire,
because it is a cool/macho/commie hating/god fearing/real man/ect...
thing to do.  They never step on the butts bacause that would be 
showing concern for nature, or someone else's property, which is one
of the most uncool/wimpy/nerdy/nature lov'in/homo/commie/turd sucking
things to do this side of voting liberal.
>>>Sir, phasers have melted, we have to call off the attack<<<
	Ahhhhhhhhhh, that felt good.  I just had to ream out the
idiots who made the hunting seasons a royal pain, since when they
were not out shooting up the livestock and property, they set fires
with there cancer sticks, usualy at 5 or 6 AM just to make it fun.
	On the other hand, there IS a basic human instinct to hunt
and kill (we have'nt been out of the tree that long yet).  When you
get this combined with the "I have to be macho" mentality, you wind
up with enough nukes to blow up the world 8 or 10 or 20 or whatever
it is up to number of times. (Twice would be enough if you ask me.)
>>>Phasers repaired, preparing for next attack Sir.<<<
You have been warned.
