I saw this funny web site about catching prairie dogs:

That is disturbing, not funny. It would have been funny if it was a
parody, but these people actually do this???


Having read the whole site, I can hardly help but believe that someone's
tongue was more or less firmly embedded in his cheek.

I'm not so sure. Usually people put a disclaimer on this kind of site
for the hard of thinking.

Perhaps. I've seen very few such disclaimers myself, but maybe we don't
visit the same places.

Still, it's a disturbing thought.

I'm sure that many people would find it disturbing for any number of
reasons. For anglers, I suspect it's because it bites kinda close to home.

WELL, what the hell, we haven't had a good round of ethics as dictated by
piscine perception and psychology in WEEKS!

Possibly. But I think this guy is on a different mind-set. After all,
I have never seen anglers laughing their arses off at the hilarity of
"slamming" their fish.

I think this one has more to do with human perception and psychology.

How many people have you seen laughing their asses off at the hilarity of
this site?

An interesting thought. One we should perhaps take up here someday.

Er... one? OK, Wolfie... good point, well made!

Far too depressing... I never recovered my innocence, and belief that
all people were inherently good, until some experience in their life
screwed their heads up. Then I read Stanley Milgram's work on
obedience and authority.

If you have time to waste, and want to justify any paranoia you may
have... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment
