Ants killing flowering plants and humans deflowering neanderthals.
What next?
Keep it coming.
Regarding insect cooperation: pheromones
"The male armpit has been hypothesized to be a source of human pheromones".
Well that explains why they've been coming on to me so strongly recently.

Skeet.. do understand where you are coming from... can't say it's all bad... as it is just part of the human condition ... it takes all kinds to make
the world go around.. and it would be very boring if we all thought, looked and acted the same...

I look back on my Life and I am Happy! Made some mistakes, tried not to hurt anyone{See THE PRAYER OF JABEZ] worked and made some money{Never did
blame the Rich for anything other than investing their Money and giving People Jobs}
Tried very hard to understand people{Still do not like to hear people Blame others for their Own Shortcomings}.
Watched as this Great country changed{Goggle up the Rare Library on The Great Depression}. became more and more Divided.
Watched as our young were not Taught Discipline, Responsibility, and how to Fight !!
Saw the results of DOPE and what it has done to our Culture.
I still believe in this country{Goat can have his Communism}.

Watched a movie last night ... which deals with animal behavior...
Hachi: A Dog's Tale.. which is a true story..
When his master, Parker (Richard Gere), dies, a loyal pooch named Hachiko keeps a regular vigil -- for more than a decade -- at the train station
where he once greeted the man every day in director Lasse Hallström's touching drama based on a true story. Hachiko's faithful routine teaches the
station's patrons about true love and commitment. Joan Allen stars as Parker's wife; Sarah Roemer, Jason Alexander and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa co-star.
Get the Kleenex out.. it's a real tear jerker... but a statement about animal behavior ... in a very positive way... and is also a snap shot of
"life"... it does go on and with memories incorporated... a keeper in my book

I LOVE my country, I just have trouble with the damn politicians who run it! My country NEVER invaded another nation (well, save for Mexico and the
Indian Nations it took to make it--my apologies to them) or otherwise acted against international and moral laws. I know for a fact that it has
remained where it is all these years and behaved itself.

That line really,
really resonates with me, evey time Skeet writes it. Especially the "...and how to fight!!". Very seldom do you ever see that element of 'fight'
included when talking about virtues. I don't know that Skeet and I have come to that determination by way of the same path in life, but I couldn't
agree more with the importance of it.
Being for the right things is almost meaningless if you are not up to the battle. I digress.

Mitchman: As a youngster on the Poor Northside of Amarillo Texas iwas in the habit of getting into fights, especially with the Bully Type. I was small
and short and took a lot of ribbing!
A cripple guy had a Boxing Club started and a friend took me down for a work out.
I was 100 Lbs.!
In 1946 I won the Texas High School Championship 105 Lb Class.
Later I was involved in the Amarillo Hi School Intermural Boxing Program along with many.others Went on to the Gloden Gloves and in 1947 won the New
mesico Golden Gloves Championship at 112 Lbs. This won me a trip to Chicago where I fought two fights at Soldiers Staduim in Chicago.
The Boxing program was disovled a few years later, partly because of the Mesican influx of good Fighters and because the Mothers and Teachers did not
want their Babbies to get their Nose Bloodied!!
It is a Virtue to Fight for your Rights and Beliefs!
Many of the Kids involed ended up doing very well in later life which included the Atteburys, The Melvin Mc Clung, and The Boone Pickens.
I think part of the trouble with the "Bullying Thing" is that Kids are "Afraid to fight"
Too Bad, they cannot always dial 911 and have the Govt. take care of their Bloody Nose.

skeet:
glad that society has evolved in past few decades and cavemen like you are slowly becoming history!
i suppose fighting today provides an outlet for some of the lower IQ members of society, and kids handicapped due to being raised by marooons.

I may give up writing fiction. The way this thread has been going I realize I'd be nothin' without Skeet. And now he beats me in the imagination arena
too by making up names like Melvin McClung. Sheesh, I'm undone.

No Goat:
Why I think"Fighting" is necessary show up as World War 2, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and others.
Just think If my Generation had not had the ability to Fight we would be living under N-zi Germany!!
Some of the same things are happening now with all the Young Generation Wimps not wanting to Fight the Commies are trying to take over litlle by
Little.
I think in the next election we may{I Pray} have the Baptists, methodist, Mormons, Catholic s get together and
Whupp the Poop' out of the Commie and Socialist Nuts.
No, I was never known to have the "Little Man:s " problem, Learned one time in Keyes Oklahoma that I could get my Butt cleaned at anytime.

About those armpits? Hang in there Skeet /Loreto! When you step into the ring you
can't step down. You're a light weight, a light weight will cut you up. Imagine you've been there a time or two.

Osprey:
Melvin McClung: Amarillo High SChool 1948 Golden Gloves.
Last year in Hi School got to be a Kirby Vacum Salesperson, then became a Supervisor and , I think about 1950 or so moved to the Dallas Ft. Worth Area
where he became a Supervisor.
He was approached by a Guy with some Money who ask him to Build some Restruants and use his kirby Salesmen to get them going; Melvin and his Group
built 32 Restruants in about a Year.
They are now known as; Church's Fried Chicken.
He went public and made 5 Million overnite. Now he resides in Dallas Texas and has one of the largest Wine Cellars in Texas.
Look him Osprey.

that's why Texas has marooonic organizations like the Texas School Board writing history and social science textbooks that reflect latest political
whims instead of scholarly, thoughtful analysis.
from everything i read about texas, the state has more fruits and nuts than california, just that texan fruits and nuts are red fundamentalist
baptists instead of blue brainiacs.
and texans talk funny. what's up with that?????
