<Cripes! I should have just used a shotgun...Subtlety is obviously lost on some people.>

Maybe they didn't know what hubris meant?

hu·bris
Pronunciation: 'hyü-br&s
Function: noun
Etymology: Greek hybris
Date: 1884
: exaggerated pride or self-confidence
- hu·bris·tic /hyü-'bris-tik/ adjective

Earlier today I was really p*ssed and disgusted at all this hostility, chest-thumping and name-calling that was going on. And they say women are emotional???

Now (after a break and a glass of wine) ... I find this absolutely hilarious.

<should have used a shotgun>Of course,for target practice on the Rons, TGs,CheekeyBabies of the world who will bang on your door in 6 months demanding your food, cash, toothpaste, gasoline, and your shotgun, whimpering that they were all misled but that it is still your moral duty to share all you have with them out of kindness, religious and civic duty, and in the spirit of brotherhood!
