They shot a bear today, oh boy

Well, I'm rattled.  A good-sized black bear wound up in my quiet city-centre neighbourhood, and climbed a big blue spruce in the front yard of the house on the corner.

Lots of cops arrived... the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources came along with a cage-cart... a crowd gathered.

So they darted him, he fell hard, and ran into the back yard... where he was dispatched with four shotgun blasts from the cops.

It was a sad crowd that dispersed, many in tears.

My point? I dunno. Norman Podhoretz thinks we should bomb Iran.

Any form of killing is an abomination, and those who speak so easily of such things are very sick.
