Just remember that for a long long time, men killed
bears so that the
bears wouldn't kill them OR the deer, because the men
needed the deer
AND the bears dead, for making deer and bear pies. This
was not true
all over the world, but certainly in some climates.
Deer and bear pies have been available in supermarkets
for a mere few
nanoseconds of time, when compared to the vast gulfs
of geological time
during which neither deer nor bear pies were available
in ANY
supermarkets. So "bear" in mind that bear-killin'
trick, or, well,
maybe one that's a little more realistic, because who
knows, someday
you might go to that supermarket for your pies -- even
just your
nuts-n-berries pies -- and find it CLOSED.
Just being the ol' Prophet-o-Doom's Advocate.
