Fishing Trip Shaving

Is it ethical to shave while on a fishing trip ?

If one can stand the pain of missing some good fish, one can, if one
wishes, stand the pain of shaving any body parts one wishes. However,
even with warm water, the last time I recall shaving my legs was back
about the time of my oldest daughter's wedding. 1987? 1986? But I'm
rare in that way, too. I have little leg hair and what I have tends
not to be visible.

My response:

Blue state, hell no !

Mostly blue state, but some of our counties were surprising. Nobody
assigned a colour to the Libertarian presidential candidate I voted
for.

Didn't picture you as a Libertarian.

One of my neighbors is very politically involved. He's very conservative
and votes Republican but philosophically is actually more of a
Libertarian. I've been reading up on their positions and strongly agree
with some of them and strongly disagree with others. Is there any proof
that their principals work in a practical situation ie any governments
that are run on Libertarian principals?

That is odd.

When I go on a multi-day fishing trip I don't shave for
the duration, perhaps that's weird too.

Here's a roffian survey and please indicate whether you
live in a blue state or a red state. ;-)

Came back from one fishing/hunting trip freshly shaved and was
questioned at length about where I'd really been. Made it a point to
return looking and smelling like a dedicated fisherman from that time
on. For those who fly and stay in motels on their fishing trips, it's
a different story. Different strokes! Doesn't matter much anymore. At
my age, since I substituted food for sex, I can't even get into my own
pants. Blue state, red voter.

The problem I have with Libertarianism is that it ignores
an individual's responsibility to society and focusses too
much on their "rights". Libertarians tend to believe they
"made it on their own" and ignore or not understand that they
were and are recipients of society's largess, and have a
responsibility to contribute back.

Jon.


The biggest flaw I see is that they take the pollyannish perspective
that unrestricted ownership somehow always results in a situation that's
good for society. It's similar to the fallacies put forth by hard line free
market people or socialists or communists or any rigid social model. In
a perfect world populated solely with "good" people ANY of these systems
would work well. That's not the world I live in.

(I also strongly dislike their position on public lands.)

Only on the last day, purple state.

Purple state, that's funny. New Mexico is pretty much like the
rest of the country. Check this out:

What that map shows is that virtually every major city in the US
voted blue. What's particularly interesting is the little blue
islands, Austin, Texas, Athens, Georgia, Raleigh, North Carolina
and my own little blue island Champaign County, Illinois.

You don't even get a shiny new nickel for knowing what those
little blue islands have in common.
