Science fiction writer Ben Bova wrote:
The most prescient — and chilling — of all the science fiction stories ever written, though, is “The Marching Morons,” by Cyril M. Kornbluth, first published in 1951. It should be required reading in every school on Earth.

The point that Kornbluth makes is simple, and scary: dumbbells have more children than geniuses. In “The Marching Morons” he carries that idea to its extreme, but logical, conclusion.

Kornbluth tells of a future world that is overrun with dummies: men and women who don’t know anything beyond their own shallow personal interests. They don’t know how their society works, or who is running it. All they care about is their personal — and immediate — gratification.

A Dangerous Predator

This article was in the UL the other day.


I did get a good laugh from it.
First of all it appears Dick doesn't like Canadians.
Second, what do you think drove the wolf to extinction around here? Ahhhhh da ya think it may have something ta do with hunters wanting to shoot them? Look........there's a predator.....it's killing deer. We killed all the wolves.....let's kill the coyote's.
"They're predators. The question I have is how would they interact with the deer herd, which is already under stress here?" said Stan Holz, a hunter and owner of the Village Gun Store in Whitefield.
Invasive?........WTF? Wow Dick should put on a deer costume during deer hunting season.
This fuckface really pisses me off.
Yes......coyote's hunt for food.....they are predators......they hunt to survive. They eat what they kill, to feed their young......unlike dumbass hunters that kill for the thrill to kill.
Yes Dick that was a sad story about that dog, It's also sad when they die from getting run over by a car. Is the life of a retired hunting dog more precious than a wild dog? How so? Is a house cat different from an alley cat? If a Bald Eagle got to your aquarium would you want to drive them to extinction too? Shoot those fuckin invasive birds!!!!
I can't watch, and always flick when NatGeo or similar programs show lions, crocks or other predators do what they have to do to survive. They kill to survive. Should we go and kill all predators?
If so then I better keep Gabby, Dupree and Pete inside cuz those three alone have killed more birds, chipmunks, mice and anything else around here that has a pulse and like a hunter, they kill for the thrill.......not because they have no food.
Oh and those killing machines got a deer on the ice. Oh my fuckin lord what a horrible sight it must have been for Nate to see the remains of a deer. I wonder if Dick takes Nate huntin and shows Nate how to shoot a deer, gut it, hack off what ever you can't carry.........unless you are one of those fortunate hunters that can kill one within 20 feet of ya pickmeuptruck........and then stick the head on the wall of your den for all the boys to see how big that deer was.
Give me a break.
A hunter can go out and shoot what he thought was a deer, could be a cow......dog....other hunter....and a hunter can also shoot at something and say how he knew he got him cuz there was blood on the ground.......and that's OK.
But a coyote kills a deer for food.......for survival......and that's just not right.
Shoot the fuckin thing.
The coyote's that visit my backyard during daylight hours are so skidish that I can't even walk by a window or get in position for a decent pic without them running off, but yet many try to paint an image that they are ready to pounce on us as soon as we venture from the comfort of our couch.

Now this wasn't meant for all hunters....there are OK hunters out there....... it's just I could never, and never will, be able to understand why they shoot with a gun, rather than shooting with a camera.........if it really is about the thrill of the hunt.
I do exactly what hunters do......I stalk.....wait behind cover......and shoot.
The difference is I can shoot the same subject over.....and over.....and over....year after year......err so long as those pesky coyote's don't eat them. Doh!
