    quote from JP; I agree, I've read some stuff on the topic, very cool indeed. But to use it as an excuse for big game hunting for sport? I don't buy it.

    you don't think it's possible ? if you know just a little you know that the brain is un-charted in many ways and the things we do know leave open doors for questions and theorys......but I guess theory is up to each person to come up with their own answers.

    Well, anything is possible, but I cant fathom it in this particular case...aka, someone like Ted Nugent shooting a Rhino for fun. If this is the only way to satisfy a 1000 year old urge, we are a pathetic race.

    :lol: I think Blockheads point is being made with every reply posted, does it boil down to human nature and the need to defend our actions wrong or right ?
    great post Blockhead, I think some instincts are stronger or weaker from person to person such as the need to hunt and even trophy hunt for that matter,some will find it disgusting and imoral and some see it as need they have to survive.
    Blockheads evaluation and opinion of the posts made by the folks here on the Train seem to have struck a nerve for some that have replyed and that may be the point to the thread...maybe I don't know.

    I think you may have missed this part of my post, Godfather:

    "Blockhead, if you're suggesting we should spend more time talking about solutions, I'm all for that. Maybe we should all listen up and share more ideas that way."
    "It's a sad and beautiful world"
    -Roberto Benigni

    BTW, Blockhead, if you even read Ishmael, you'd know that it's not about the hunter/gatherer lifestyle but what we learned from it, and actually living off the earth, and fully respecting our place, as well as the place of other species in the world, as well as the fact that we are all connected.

    AMT's lack of consistency? Or human nature's lack of consistency? I fully admit to being inconsistent. I try not to be, but it seems everyone is guilty of it to some extent.

    I think people like to have grand ideas, but it's not easy to put them into practice.
