One Cannot Nurish Peace And Nurish Anger And Resentment At The Same Time. Time To Put Down The Dead Goose. I Am Already Tired Of The Story. One Cannot Whine And Create Peace. My Mother Taught Me That Life Is Not Fair. I Find It Interesting To Note That Even Though I Was Once Shot At By A Drunk Hunter I Am Not Harboring The Resentment You Are. It Is Always Wise To Stay Far Away From A Drunk With A Gun. Maybe The Difference Is That I Put Down The Sound Of The Bullet Whizzing Past My Head Years Ago, And You Are Still Waving Around A Dead Goose Like Bloody Flag. Waving A Dead Goose About Does Not Hurt The Person Who Left It. It Does Hurt You And Your Friends And Family Though. Better Just To Put It Down. It Just Makes You Look Silly. You Are Probably Now Known As That Kooky Decoy Thief Around The Community And Have Reduced Any Chance You Had To Make Any Positive Impact..... I Am Sorry, Life Is Not Fair, It Is Not Fair To You, It Is Not Fair To The Geese, It Is Not Fair To The Children Under The Bombs In Iraq. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In [email protected], kyukyo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I Lived In Rural Areas For Years.
