See, USA, there's your problem, right there.

Who the hell would want to be president right now? Why would anyone sensible want that? Massively high pressure, have to work with any number of assholes, not terribly well paid, short term, and with a murder rate of around 10% one of the most dangerous legal jobs in the world.

No wonder the candidates are so crap.

I think you're on to something here.

That boy is an onion see. If he takes a deer he hasn't taken.

Actually, Rinzai Zen monks if you must know.
And it's onion layers all the way down.

Killing is killing, deer, carrots, nothing on this planet lives except at the expense of another life. That's what makes earth a special kind of hell.
I try not to recognize an anthropocentric hierarchy.

The only thing that can ever exist is our experience of right here/right now. The universe does not think of itself as the center, neither should we. Hmm..or perhaps because we think of ourselves as the center the universe does. Either way the universe cannot kill itself.
