I'm sitting with a very puzzled expression.  I may be absolutely
mistaken since my memory isn't what it was, but aren't you the
guy who was talking about how everyone ought to be able to shoot
deer whenever and wherever they want?

I happen to agree with what you are saying in this note.  But I
am more than baffled about how learning to love slugs
because they have a place in the eco-system, fits with
killing deer 'cause they are eating your azaleas.
