yet fail to see
your own

Pointed and well done Lori, but I think most hunters realize when they are using their weapons.

Yes very excellent. I admire the way some of the writers here can give so strong a message in so few lines. Great work, Lori.

What a stunning message! The perception is dramatic. Although this is my land I have no problem with total strangers coming on it and killing its wildlife, personal property means nothing in America anymore. Oh, if you get cold out there on my property come on to the house, maybe the wife can fix you a good meal, maybe a stiff drink afterward, might as well bed her down while you are at it. I have a marriage certificate that say she and I belong to each other, but what the heck, have at her.

happy holidays, in all ways. miss our interaction. Great piece, got me to thinking. I guess we all hunt in some ways. Thrill of the hunt, got to watch for those warning signs though. Of course some don't get it until the bullet hits their behind. Of course how thrilling is it to hunt in safe places? oh well, take care. l&p G

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
