I can relate to the outrage displayed in the posts above. The ignorance, and the subsequent atrocities commited by man are sometimes overwhelming. It never ceases to amaze me the horribly stupid things that man does. Not only to himself, but to his fellow inhabitants of this earth. It is a tragedy what we have done to this planet, and to all of the forms of life which live here. And the only thing that is more tragic than the grotesque nature of what we have done, is the fact that we continue to do them. I continue to believe that the species of man did not evolve. Not on this plannet or any other. If we did evolve, how could we have lost all connection, and kinship to that from which we came. I believe we were created, although, I often wonder,..by what, or whom? We are the only species of animal on the face of this earth that does the awful things that we do. We do not belong here. Perhaps we are some sort of sick alien experiment gone astray. I don't know, but to me, at least, it is painfully obvious that we do not belong. And the only thing that brings me any comfort, when I here about such tragedy, is that I personaly believe that some day mother nature will either teach us to respect her the hard way, or purge herself of our unatural presence all together. I think recent events in the Indian ocean are testament to this theory. And I think we'd all better get our affairs in order. Because we ain't seen nothin yet! Mother nature has a way of cleansing herself, and we are the filth most in need of being cleansed. I don't know about all of you, but I do believe a day of reconing will come. And I believe that karma will deliver what has been given. Still, I must confess that I too feel an overwhelming urge to choke an idiot like that until the karma squirts out of his ears. Every time I see a dead snake or turtle on the shoulder of the road, five or six feet away from the traveld road surface, I know that some {insert profanity and name calling to sufficiently discribe such humans}, went out of their way to take the life of a creature who's only crime agaisnt humanity, was to try and get to the other side. That really burns my,...well you know. And being a fairly agressive person, with a substantial amount of military trainig, with a bad temper to begin with, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before I go to jail for giving karma a little help.
I'm sure we could all rant and rave for days on end about this subject, and I must admit that it feels good to vent. But I still just want to know how, when, and where to find big black rat snakes. Thanks for sharing. Let's try not to think about the idiots out there. Let's just go herpin!
