for your helpful insight and thoughts. My inclination is, in general, to vote against changing the constitution, since most amendments and referenda are initiated and backed by special interest groups. I belong to one nonprofit group that is pushing for passage of the license plate amendment, surely in hopes of seeing some of that revenue. It's just that so many amendments and referenda are worded so that the voter reading them for the first time at the ballot box thinks, "Oh yeah, that sounds good," or "Oh yeah, those people deserve a tax advantage."

I just didn't vote on the Hunting and Fishing referendum. I read it several times and didn't understand what it was supposed to accomplish. So I skipped it. Maybe there should be 3 possible responses to these referendums. Yes, No, and what the he.. does this mean ?

The Hunting and Fishing referendum is going to be used to overthrow the prohibition against hunting deer with dogs which was passed last year in the General Assembly and will be used in the future to prohibit regulation of hunting by cities and counties. I'm voting against it. I believe deer should be hunted the traditional way in Georgia... with cars and trucks.

Can we still fish with dynamite?

They're afraid the terrorist are going to get a hold of it. But you can "noodle" and "shock fish". Just don't crank the generator while your buddy is in there noodling. He might float to the top along with the rest of your catch.

I have always believed in the baiting with corn and spot light tradition.

Teaching your 9 year old son, or daughter,to blast a deer with 00 buckshot out a jeep window or from the cockpit, is great training. Also, hyping these kids up so that they shoot every bush that rustles while hunting also teaches responsibility. You want them to want to kill a deer, thay they won't eat, to brag about so bad that they will even steal one if they can get to it before the one who shot it does! Also, during season, one can just drive around until you find a deer that has been hit with a car or truck, stop and lash it to the hood, and then drive all through the county, stopping at every convenience store and service station for conversation. Even during non season time, you can freeze the carcass whole and do the same thing. It is a great sport--better than shooting lawyers as Cheney does.

Cheney got in trouble for two reasons.

First, he didn't have the proper stamp to hunt lawyers.

Second, he got his lawyer out of season. It's a common misconception that you can hunt lawyers like most other vermin.

Get of Cheney's back you bed-wetter! It was only a lawyer that got shot. Haven't you ever been to a rat killing?

That was perty darn good!

I voted for some of the window dressing. But you're right. If we give Government the right to take our property to divvy up as they see fit, the Communists have won, after all. Just Say No to Emminent Domain!
