Re: "What heat? You did not eat a Bengal tiger in Vietnam, because there are no Bengal tigers in Vietnam.

I guess your extensive legal training has given you the skills to hit directly at the heart of a discussion. I thought, foolishly as it turns out, that you were first questioning me regarding what kind of person would eat the meat of an endangered species and, thereafter, on whether it even happened. I thought that the "no Bengal tigers in Vietnam" was to buttress your insinuation that it never happened. I never understood that you were calling me a liar based on the particular line of tiger whose meat I'd eaten.

Apparently you care deeply about the distinction between eating Bengal tiger meat as opposed to eating the meat of some other endangered tiger, say a Corbett's tiger. In that event I suppose that anyone who claimed to eat the meat of some Bengal-looking tiger that WASN'T actually a Bengal tiger deserves to have his veracity questioned.

Me, I'm not that sophisticated. Anytime I see a 3 or 400 pound cat that's about 8 or 9 feet long (think of a house cat that size) that looks like a Bengal tiger, I think it's a Bengal tiger.

But I am sophisticated enough to know when someone is trying to spin their way out of a blunder. And I am sophisticated enough to understand that the way a person handles their mistakes says a lot about their character. Ed
