I never said you voted for them. I suggested that like them you feel superior to us, the unintelligent 98% .They got elected because people like yourself insist on big government and more control. You find comfort in thinking your morals or ethics are being forced on others. It was one bear that died as humanly as any other bear that was killed and more humanely than those that went down by natural causes.

My friend, I pay taxes just like you do. I am not in government, nor am I a socialist.

Much like my comment above, Who ever said that the rule makers are super intelligent? There is a massive amount of stupid in all levels of Government. Here is another great selection from the article I posted.

"No matter how many idiots you suspect yourself surrounded by, you are invariably lowballing the total. This problem is compounded by biased assumptions that certain people are intelligent based on superficial factors like their job, education level, or other traits we believe to be exclusive of stupidity. They aren’t. "

And here again you miss the point. In a true democracy the majority rules or at least who the majority votes for. Intelligence, amount of taxes paid or income does not lessen your vote.

The thing is, the blabber isnt the vocal minority. If you discussed using a spear to kill any animal with the MAJORITY of the population in Canada and showed them the you tube video. I would bet all of my worldly belongings that the people who would be against using a throwing spear to try kill animals would be in the 90-95% + range, . That includes a great many hunters like myself.

It most certainly is and the reason you are finding opposition to your argument. A few got a hold of the video and made an issue where none existed. The sheeple jumped on board and as soon as the commotion got loud enough the politicians showed up to harvest the rewards.

So where do you draw the line in the sand regarding regulations? Does it take 1 person to say they want to use a spear? how about 10? 100? 10000? If it is put in those terms, isnt it the exact thing you are upset with, but in reverse? That a VERY low minority feel they should have the right to do what they want regardless of the rest of the population?

I draw the line at one. The man with the spear has every bit as much right as the man with the rifle. It is none of my business how he hunts as long as he is not endangering others or harming wildlife or the environment as a whole

Even if you go back to biblical times.. The majority of the laws were created to benefit the wealthy and powerful. Not protect or ensure that people were free to enjoy their lives. Fast forward 200 years and it is very little different today.

I know how they operate, but unlike you I refuse to be part of the problem.
I'm done but please carry on without me.
