[obol] on waging war.

[David Fix Jude Power]

Ms. Chambers,

I find it dispiriting that you boast of your continuing battle in Harbor, Oregon, against other nations of beings which are guilty of no crime.  Good and evil are essentially useless human constructs, and one would think you are in no position to brag about being a judgmental God.  Glance in the mirror.  Humans are far and away the most destructive invasive species the world has ever suffered.  Give us a break and kindly refrain from mentioning how you keep your hatchet sharp.  OBOL is, in the main, a forum for those who delight in birds and honor the miracle of their lives.  News flash: the "war" is over, and the House Sparrows and Starlings "won" long ago.

Having met you, I was left with the impression that your ancestors emigrated from roughly the same place as the aggressive aliens you endeavor to kill.  Take it out on some kindling, perhaps, and spare us the self-congratulatory bloodlust.

Thank you for your consideration,     

David Fix
Arcata, California

P.S. In the interest of full disclosure, I am also Caucasian, leave a significant carbon footprint, eat some Big AgriBiz meat, and kill sugar ants without remorse (the spiders and crickets get Mercy Flights to the outdoors)
