Reminds me.......  

An 80-year-old man went to his doctor for his annual check-up. The doctor asks him how he's feeling.

The 80-year-old says, "I've never felt better. I now have a 20 year-old bride who is pregnant with my child. What do you think about that?"

The doctor considers his question for a minute and then begins. "I have an older friend, much like you, who is an avid trophy hunter and never misses a season. One day, when he was going out hunting, he was in a bit of a hurry and accidentally picked up his walking cane instead of his gun. When he got to the creek, he saw a prime beaver sitting beside the stream of water. He raised his cane and went 'bang, bang'. Suddenly, two shots rang out and the beaver fell over dead. What do you think of that?"

The 80-year-old said, "I'd say somebody else pumped a couple of rounds into that beaver."

The doctor replied, "My point exactly."

These are the kind of people you pray lay down in front of a bunch of vehicles in "protest" while the drivers gas it.  Bill T.

"WHAT'S GOING ON?!!!"...................He just ran over a bunch of a$$holes!   Bill T.

"None of them meant to be roadkill."  WTF!!!  I wouldn't say laid down, they jumped and dove down in the roadway!  Brings up the filter I run everything I do through - Don't do anything that would cause Audrey to carve "What did he think would happen?" on my headstone.

Idiots!

Meanwhile, back at the elephant hunt:

These animals have over populated, they are destroying crops that the villagers depend on for food and the little cash they get, they have also commonly trample homes and kill people on the streets (or what they call streets in those villages), the people are starving, and the villages have no outside cash income.  Americans and Europeans with money will pay to go there and hunt.  They pump money into the government, they hire guides and provide jobs, they kill dangerous and destructive animals, and the meat feeds the villagers for a long time.

If these idiot protesters would pull their heads out of their rear ends they would see how the "evil rich and wealthy" are using the funds the do gooders want to take away in a type of recreation that provides long lasting good and needs for the poor and starving around the world.

Makes me want to do business with Go Daddy!

as M58 mentioned, often these areas have people litterly living on the land and what ever aid thier govment gives them.  A hunter spending 6 figures( and a elephant hunt is going to be 6 figures) split up among the local population, will drasticly improve thier quality of life.  not to mention the conservation factor, both in $$$ and in changing attitudes of the local populations.  it is also my understanding the meat is not wasted.

That's exactly the point. When I was in grad school we had to do three concentrations. My third was in comparative politics where I specialized in Africa (largely because I could study countries that spoke English .) Anyway, it was a good call, because the head prof was a Nigerian that loved to torture the liberals that took African Studies "to save the oppressed". He made Tom look like an soft hearted amateur. "An endangered species? If I am hungry, it is endangered. If its the last one? Well, I'll invite the neighbor's over. Unless it pays, it gets eaten. If some rich white fool want's to pay me to kill it, it will live till he get's there, but not one day longer". Watching the hippies's jaws drop was worth the hassle of being his TA. Plus he always bought the beer.

It's called be a "Realist", it is based on the scientific principle of looking at the results of other peoples experiments and drawing logical conclusions.
Since you have been exposed to it you should practice it more often.

Tom, I'm more of a realist (in FP terms) than you are. I have views that would make Kissenger blush. The bottom line is this in FP: "What do I gain if I intervene"? "What do I lose by doing so"? And this above all: "What's the worst that can happen if I intervene and it doesn't work"? Unless you have good answers to all three questions, you stay the hell home.

Where you miss the boat is by thinking that does not apply to all Govt. decisions.
