You can't fix stupid, but sometimes a bear can.

The ignorance some people have about how dangerous wild animals can be astounds me. They don't have the common sense to error on the side of caution when they don't understand a situation. How they don't understand something as simple as, "I don't know much about the outdoors and wildlife, so I am going to be very cautious until I understand more about them". When you don't know what you don't know and aren't even curious enough enough to ask yourself, "is there a potential here for this to go bad", you are a danger to yourself.

I grew up around domesticated livestock and have a reverent respect for them. They are not your buddy and can kill you. Wild animals scare the crap out of me.

I read the title when I first got up this afternoon. I wondered to myself how 'beer' could fix anything, cause it causes me nothing but grief.

*sigh*

We have people with this level of mentality running our country. Simply amazing that people can be that stupid.

lets face facts, some people have to be warned that Buffalo, Bears and Alligators are dangerous.
OTOH I wouldn't even wander near cattle or hogs without at least a big stick to get their attention.
