It would best serve in the privy...for a different application.

Not to worry, I take the self-serve line at the grocery store and don't have time to read Newsweak as I did while waiting for the cashier to ring up the people in front of me.

You know, Wolf (Keith Kimball) said that as a backpacker, when he goes shopping for his backpacking meals, he doesn't take a cart.  He uses the basket so that he can get an idea of the weight he'll be carrying when he transfers the food to his basket. 

How much does a Newsweak weigh?  Maybe I could take one to a shelter and leave it for others to read.  NO, NO.  Bad move.  People who spend the nights in shelters are usually there to get away from the nightly news, weekly news and weakly news.  Unless of course there's a shocking photo of an unclad backpacker as a centerfold.

Hmmm. The Auntie Coosa Blog strikes me as both right wing and weird. Are you seriously opposed to voting rights for blacks and females? REgular perusal of Newsweek would truly provide a bit of badly needed perspective.

That's just it; the "mainstream" media has lost it's credibilty...with me, and a LOT of other folks. They're supposed to *report* the news, not *make it up*...

Just a suggestion. Most any mainstream reading would help a blog that prints material claiming that only communists think former slaves should be citizens, that women should vote, and that civil rights are important.

Oh, I don't know.  I think that humans can become just as wild as an animal and defend themselves.  It's all about how bad one wants
to survive.  

While I like the idea of having some form of approach in theory like that Bobcat choke hold, one never knows what kind of situation
they will find themselves as well as potential weapons or escape routes that could be nearby.  I think it's a good idea to be aware
of where you are at all times--at the very least have a very good general idea so that when you take off running you can decide the
best way to go.  

Aware also means when confronted by some form of danger doing a quick look around for potential weapons.  No matter what, I think
that one needs to be calm until battle time comes and then it's all out.  What really freaks animals out is when you act like them.

You know, I was thinking about that bobcat-neck-breaking thing while I was
out riding my bike this evening. I think that, in theory, it'd be workable;
but in practice, I think that Bob would be using his talons at such a rate
that I wouldn't be able to calmly separate his vertebras and all that.

I'm just pointin' out...
