"Underwood, an estimator for a San Antonio, Texas auto body shop, has invested $10,000 to build a platform for a rifle and camera that can be remotely aimed on his 330-acre (133-hectare) southwest Texas ranch by anyone on the Internet anywhere in the world.It's just something I've never understood. Literally, it's not that I regard it negatively so much as I regard it as alien to my own way of thinking about the world. That is, I feel like, at bottom, I am just incapable of empathizing with the internal narrative that is: "Wow, that deer is soooo gorgeous. I wish we could kill it." It's so completely and thoroughly foreign to the way in which my own mental government reacts to things.

'We were looking at a beautiful white-tail buck and my friend said 'If you just had a gun for that.' A little light bulb went off in my head,' he said."

It may be completely and thoroughly foreign to the way in which your own mental government reacts to things, but it's completely and thoroughly endemic to the way in which your federal government reacts to things.

Wouldst thou keepeth thine knife in sheath
and honor not thy canine teeth? - LDM
Filleth thine gut with donut grease
and thou shalt sustaineth planetary peace - LDM
Seeketh thou not Bambi to slay
whilst in the forest at frolic and play
least there be a pox upon the cock of thy father
for entering yon woods the creatures to bother - LDM
