    Re: Nice Plant #7: Get me off of this planet

    That's a Blaze article I can actually endorse. The anti-hunting crowd gets so hysterical sometimes, while ignoring the fact that many of the vegetables they consume come from corporate farms that do far more damage to the environment than your average hunter.

      One thing that REALLY concerns me with these movements is the whole public shaming aspect. It is WAY too easy to get one rolling and the list of items that will set such a movement off grows each day. All it takes is one Freudian slip or off-comment taken out of context and you have a digital lynch mob storming your gates.

      Eventually one of these movements is going to turn the wrong person's life upside down, and they won't respond so well.

        Don't ya love social media?

        Actually, has there been any precedent in someone successfully suing and collecting damages from harassment resulting from an indecent like this? I mean, say you legally take an animal, and post a shot of it... Then P*TA or whomever get ahold of it and spark the fire... Can you say you're scared of getting "Slender Manned" by some psycho internet kid and collect on it?

          I think you would have a hard time convincing a judge unless there was a serious credible threat.

            Yeah, it would be like a reverse class action - one victim would be suing a million people for a buck each.

              Sheila Jackson Lee (el Numero Uno imperious nitwit on Capitol Hill) disagrees with her own website. She thinks things are just peachy on our southern border. Full disclosure: I voted for her early in her career for a seat on the Houston City Council.

                Keep poking fun, but that's now legal in Seattle. And then why fine the person for animal cruelty? Replacing their glass is fine enough.

                  Clayton Moore's "Lone Ranger" regalia auctioned for $195K.

                  http://www.chicagotribune.com/entert...,5285551.story

                  Notes: in the early 80's Jack Wrather decided he wanted to make a Lone Ranger feature film and sued Clayton Moore to stop the old man from making public appearances wearing the mask. This generated an avalanche of favorable publicity for Moore (and was a PR disaster for Wrather), who began making appearances at his increased bookings in wrap around sun glasses. Meanwhile, The Legend of the Lone Ranger turned out to be one of the worst, least successful films of all time. The "star" was a guy named Klinton Spilsbury. His first (and only) screen credit. He was such a weak duck, another actor dubbed his lines. You have to wonder whose boy friend he was. Moore prevailed in a counter suit against Wrather and soon began wearing the mask in public again. HE was the Lone Ranger.

                  Moore carried the Lone Ranger regalia in a small, custom made, hammered silver decorated trunk. While passing through Houston at about the time of the mask kerfuffle, a Continental baggage handler stole the thing. Because of the national publicity, this was the definition of "hot" merchandise. It didn't take 'em long to bring that evil doer to justice.

                    Bibi sucks and the sooner he is out as PM of Israel the better.

                      Israel has every right to defend itself. But Netanyahu is a war hawk who goes beyond self-defense regularly. Not necessarily in this case, though let's not forget this started over the deaths of four teenagers (3 Israelis and 1 Palestinian)

                        I would rather have a leader who isnt looking for blood at all times. Bibi makes Israel look bad with every decision he makes.

                          Can someone seriously explain to me why we should continue sending billions of dollars per year to Israel? Are they that incapable of defending themselves? Is it the old philosophy of "as long as they hate/kill the Jews and each other, the Islamists can't focus entirely on us"?

                            Political wheel greasing. The US donates to a lot of questionable countries.

                              The federal dollars that go to Israel are public. The oil and military contract profits the Israel beachhead protects are private.

                              The wealth transfer isn't from the US to Israel; it's from middle class people in the US to rich people in the US.

                                Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.
