DC Suburbs Deer Problem

Classic,

Easier said than done. Last I checked, you had an aversion to LEO's, as do I, but that aversion is based upon a couple of bad encounters that we have had with an LEO or two. So, we lumped all LEO's into the "they are out to get us" category instead of they are decent people that are upholding/enforcing the laws passed by the people we elect into the legislature.

I caught myself being prejudicial on Sunday, right after I wrote a response to an immigration thread. My wife and I went out for a bike ride on the bike path that winds through Rock Creek Park, which if you aren't familiar with Rock Creek Park, it is a bunch of small parks linked together. Anyway, we started at one of these small parks and there were a bunch of hispanics playing soccer and speaking Spanish. I made an off color comment that they should be speaking English. Then my wife reminded me that my father usually speaks Italian when he is around his friends and sometimes with my mother, and my mother used to speak to my grandmother in Italian, and my grandmother barely knew English, and my wife's mother's side speaks Italian when they get together. I felt like a jackass.

It is way too easy to prejudge. We all do it, no matter how hard we try not to. Yeah, I don't think the farmer's should, but try being in their shoes after dealing with a couple of jackass hunters. I wouldn't want to deal with it either.
