I've noticed a decline, in the last few years, of the Rifleman's previously excellent and exacting technical reviews, which would also occasionally close with something along the lines of "as an expensive, heavy pistol not really suited for competitive shooting and not chambered in a particularly useful hunting round, we have to wonder at the market for this boomstick". Now, everything reviewed seems to be always good, and useful.<BR/><BR/>Re: Synder's Poem- bravo!mdmnmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00191436711956580423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321070.post-11283502443114397022008-04-15T15:31:00.000-06:002008-04-15T15:31:00.000-06:00But some of us like to eat the game. You might say...But some of us like to eat the game. You might say it controls us. As Gary Snyder wrote in his poem "Long Hair,"<BR/><BR/>Hunting Season:<BR/><BR/>Once every year, the Deer catch human beings. They<BR/>do various things which irresistibly draw men near them;<BR/>each one selects a certain man. The Deer shoots the man,<BR/>who is then compelled to skin it and carry its meat home<BR/>and eat it. Then the deer is inside the man. He waits and<BR/>hides in there, but the man doesn't know it. When<BR/>enough Deer have occupied enough men, they will strike all<BR/>at once. The men who don't have Deer in them will<BR/>also be taken by surprise, and everything will change some.<BR/>This is called "takeover from inside".<BR/><BR/>(The line breaks are probably all awry in this little box.)Chas S.

Like you, the NRA's stance on the road issue bugs the heck out of me. I also find it hard to fault Colorado for prohibiting primitive season use of an electric ignition muzzleloader, which must be three words that were never meant to go together, never mind a device the longhunters and mountain men would have likely laughed at, what with the numerous sources for spare batteries on the frontier. What a strange issue for the NRA to even care about.mdmnmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00191436711956580423noreply@blogger.com
