OK, now it makes sense... I was thinking that you were referring to your browser cache initially... Although I've heard of geocaching, I've never been interested in it, so the references to caches initially didn't make any sense to me...

Don't worry about your rep, Earle, we never thought you were an intellectual. Besides, Kate, the last time Earle butted out of anything, he was breach. ;)

Kate,

This is a public news group. Your request is out of line. Besides, Nathan the self-proclaimed redneck called me a "self-proclaimed intellectual". I have to correct the damage to my public character that this has caused. ;^)

Earle

No Kate, I wasn't there. But as I argued before, this is going to make me more objective, less whacked-out if you will, than people who were there. That is why wars are made by politicians, not soldiers. The politician sits in his nice safe cherry wood and leather office in Washington, DC, and signs papers, of the type, that sent tens of thousands of my generation to their deaths, for no reason. Lot of kids said then, "This politician is full of crap. I am not going."

In this case, who are you going to trust? You have the choice, of guys who had the wool pulled over their eyes, or guys who didn't. If you really want to know, you will consult both. That is why I have read a number of books, written by people, who were there, as well as by others, who weren't. Now by Nathan's assessment, reading books is not a valid way to acquire knowledge. But by the same argument, reading his posts isn't either.

Nope! You are thoroughly confused and should seek instruction in vocabulary, or even mental counseling. The parasite in a woman's womb is an embryo then a fetus, not a baby and certainly not a child. In fact even a baby is not a child. I lacks the nerve system needed to control its bowels and has the throat of an animal, allowing it to suckle but not speak.

Heartbeat? Even worms have heartbeat. Does that mean a tapeworm is a child?

We also kill to prevent overpopulation. Few hunters today kill to eat.

Interesting point, but I doubt that hunters buy all that gear and go to all that trouble, to unselfishly prevent overpopulation of deer, for example. It may be that the people who write the permits and licenses have that in mind, but not the hunters. Bill's "just plain fun", which also encompasses sport, getting close to nature, and a weekend away from annoying neighbors, etc., has to be the biggest part of it. People like to buy stuff too.

Earle

wow....i find your dismissal rather disgusting.

Jes, pokin' with a stick. ;)

Thank you.

Earle

LOLOLOLOL!! (nuthin personal earl) Permission to use that one?

I do. I raise beef cattle, but I eat, almost solely, venison. I still enjoy beef, just not nearly as often as I used to, chicken is good too. Mule deer, whitetails, dove, quail and fish. A good hunt results in deer and a wild hog or two. I suppose it helps that I own land.

hey......youve never seen some of my cousins. ;-)

In Colorado, it is legal to marry one's first cousin, but not in Arkansas. Go figure.
