I have to agree with Smithee on that one. Granny seems to despise her fellow citizens. Maybe she should leave. I doubt we'll miss her. Really could improve the voting pool. My last experience hunting was when I was about 11. My father was behind me maybe 50'; I saw a deer and fired into the air to scare it. I knew he'd shoot to kill. The deer took off running with my father popping off wild shots (from behind me) trying to hit it. The deer made it away scared ****less (literally) but safely. I wasn't about to kill it. It had done nothing to me, we didn't need the food, and it was beautiful. Why kill it? My father was enraged and struck me several times for missing. I'm still glad the deer made it away. OTOH, I would hardly shoot a hunter even if that hunter were about to shoot a deer. Maybe that's where Granny and I differ. I value that animal's life, but I place a higher value on a human's life. Fishing is just the most boring thing known to man. I won't even drop a hook in the water and waste time for some dumb fish to bite. Gloop probably eats goldfish raw. :-)
