I don't mind you guys having this discussion here at all. They are exactly the kinds of ideas that fascinate me. But if you want to continue in a less public place that's fine. Propaddict, I wonder if your rabbit-eating story might need some context (I know the context, and I can see it being a little jarring to someone who doesn't know the story. Actually, the context itself is pretty jarring.) But anyway... do as you will.

There are lots of different ways to appreciate nature! Some are more visceral than others.
