A little off topic, story involves deer hunting. Years ago the neighbor and 14 yo son of a good friend of mine were deer hunting in the U.P. They somehow ended up on private land, no fence and unmarked. They ran into the landowner (who was drunk) who told them to GTF off of his land. Mike and his dad turned around and started to walk away. Mike was a cocky little teenager and unarmed. He turned back towards the landowner probably to say something smartazz, the old geezer shot him through the side shattering his spine, lacerating his liver and destroying a kidney. Mike's dad spun around and put five rounds from his 740 into the old geezer. Mike was medivaced out of Kincheleo AFB down to Ann Arbor and survived spending the rest of his life paralyzed from the waist down. His dad was never charged.
There are often consequences for being so macho as to not take any tshidt off anyone, as well as for completely blowing an insult/intrusion out of proportion. In this instance the chickens came home to roost in both cases. Perhaps another example of natural selection playing out.

Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.
