    Human beings will pay dearly for the culling and general maltreatment of other life.

    Why is that statement surprising to people? Why are there so many people who disagree with it?

    Every credible spiritual discipline since the dawn of humanity has condemned killing. If anyone tells you otherwise, or tries to sell you on the idea that those rules only apply to humankind and not "lesser" animals, they are rationalizing despite the inevitable karmic consequences.

    Yes, I am saying that the Golden Rule is less "words to live by" and more like a promise of terrible retribution.

    My favorite thing this morning was watching channel 5 describe how the city had "executed" 8,000 birds after the US Airways incident. Now that's punitive action!

    Dogs are also excellent art critics.
    Whenever I see someone walking their dog past the godawful sculpture collection at the southwest corner of Grant Park in Chicago called "Agora" by some Polish fraud claiming to be an artist, the dogs always give the best opinions of this alleged work of art: They piss on it!

    These results don't overly surprise me. My cat signals distaste with a flex of her ears when I misfinger a guitar chord.

    Okay, the color composition aspect surprised me a little.

    So the beer I drank while sitting in my deck chair watching mockingbirds chase my cat counts toward this $36B. Glad I could help the economy while sitting on my fat ass.

    All data presented here are from the wildlife-watching section of the 2006 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation (FHWAR).

    Much confusion was resolved when a sharp-eyed proofreader noticed that the category of "birdwatching" included "all types of pornography including hardcore, teen, amateur, anal, girl on girl, girl on guy, 2 girls on guy, orgy...."

    I saw half a peregine falcon wing in the gutter at the corner of fifth avenue and 72nd street outside my apartment building on the way to work yesterday. VERY depressing.

    When the government pulls numbers to bring before the legislators, they're allowed to be creative. Afterall, numbers are beyond refute.
