Did a little scouting today. I think I've found the next smallie Clave

Thanks, george. Must have been a great day for you.

BTW, there still isn't any record of a healthy wolf that wasn't being
fed by humans attacking any human being in the U.S. that I've heard
of. And I'm on some groups where the hysterical about wolves
sometimes post.


I wasn't really worried about being attacked per se. It was more of an
instincticve reaction (I think) to being so close to animals which are
much more physically powerful than I am. To carry the analogy to to an
absurd level, if you came upon a group of gods cavorting in a meadow
(And, no, I don't think of wolves as gods.), would your first response
be to yell "Heey Gods! Whats happenin'!!" or would it be to keep your
trap shut and slink away.

Are these alleged "gods" "cavorting" in _A_ meadow or _trespassing_ in
_MY_ meadow? And more importantly, are there nekkid gals with hot bods
involved?

The fact that wolves could easily kill any human if they so chose and
the fact that they don't is something I find intriguing about them.

Um, they could? But OK, assuming a wolf _could_ kill any human it
chose, why do you think _would_?

Easy protein?


Or do you find yourself intriguing for
not having run over myriad people in your automobile?

I find myself and wolves intriguing for a variety of reasons. But the
fact that wolves pass up an easy meal is an interesting part of their
behavior. After all, most large felines, some bears, crocodiles,
ticks, roundworms, some sharks, crabs (after you're dead of course)
and many other animals that I'm sure I've forgotten, seem to find
human flesh toothsome and nutritious. Wolves don't. Why? I also find
it somewhat interesting that you find the predator/prey relationship
in animals analogous to human beings killing each other at random.
Why?

...I think you'll find that, for most animals, it's a lot easier not to
kill than to kill, and under "normal" circumstances, it's only necessity
that causes them to do it...
