On the issue of hunting with bows or spears.

I've never hunted in my life, but I might take it up in the future, assuming the economic situation worsens considerably. I know several hunters, and I believe they would be willing to show me the ropes. Rest assured, I would approach it in a serious manner. The last thing I would want to do is cause an animal unnecessary pain.

I've done a little bow shooting in the past. While it was very challenging, I find handgun target shooting more rewarding. My ex used to embarrass me with her ability at archery until she managed to clip her breast when she released the arrow. She never seemed to enjoy shooting the bow after that. She was also an excellent shot with a revolver, but I was just a little better.

I tend to agree with you that bow or blade hunting might be crueler than using a firearm. Merely my opinion, not based on experience.

We differ as far as peanut butter. I like it. Feel free to start your campaign. Perhaps we can open up a peanut butter forum on DU to argue about the subject
