Seneca -- Consolation for frustration has been added as a related post - related requested by Trancecoach on that post.

I'm all about environmental conservation; very happy that I live quite near the NY Forest Preserve; but I'm finding a hard time supporting a plan to protect these deer.

We're not talking about a unique species. White deer are born in normal, unprotected habitats. I imagine they're popular targets not only for hunters, as the website mentions, but also for predators. They don't exactly blend in.

Let them go free. Let nature take its course. Vote "no" on the Seneca White Deer bailout plan.

That's really cool, youdie. Also, apparently Bedford Falls is based on a place in NY called Seneca Falls. Here's more on that.


yes, I had included that link above if you click on "Bedford Falls NY", very cool.

What a crock of shit! This is about as meaningful and substantiated as the religious text it quotes. Speaks volumes about religion too: "usury is a sin ... wait, it's handy, never mind, usury is cool." There is $666B in circulation, whoo, the world will end. I suspect we'll manage. And we won't invade Iran any time soon, the political situation is way too negative.

"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful." -- Seneca the Younger 4 BC - 65 AD.

I saw him live in Seneca South Carolina. It was alright but highly sound track driven. Ironically I offered to post some of his videos here, but he never emailed me. I guess there are many routes to the Sift.

I consider religion to be nothing more than a tool used to maintain a subservient populace, and therefore intolerable and unacceptable.

People are free to believe whatever they want (as the woman in this clip proves), but when you blindly agree with archaic and irrational myths that have directly caused the deaths of millions of people throughout history, you shouldn't really expect your beliefs to be respected.
