: : And thank YOU, DDN, for pushing my cynicism button one last time. I think I'm going to go get me a chunk of raw, red meat, some baby seal furs, a bunch of sugared breakfast cereal, and a TV, and climb to the top of a microwave cel-phone relay tower with a high-powered rifle and a hunting scope, and start picking off the ants, one by one, until they come and shoot me down like King Kong. Why the hell not? At least I'd get my 15 minutes of fame...

: : (No, I wouldn't really do that. I'm just ranting.)

: Wouldnt you just need the rifle to do that? Or would you just be that tempered upon going ot the store for ammunition that you'd have to get all the other goodies?

Oh I was thinking about the whole image, really, rather than just the pragmatic effort. Without television, endangered species fur, meat, sugar, microwaves, etc. it just wouldn't be 'Merikan enough. I was envisioning this great, symbolic, "The Tragic Madness of America" type of scene. Sort of Jimmy Cagney "Top of the World, Ma!" blaze of glory image. I'm feeling better now, thanks. :-)
