Welllll.......some say the world is ours. Not really. We're part of the world. Since we can't exist without the world, it isn't really ours, we're part of it. Kinda like if the heart decided it could exist without the rest of the body. It isn't really ours to do as we please with. Case in point: Love Canal. Not everything here is for our enjoyment. Case in point: Ticks, chiggers, mosquitos, biting flies, lice.  ;D They serve some purpose, though it's certainly hard to understand what that is when chiggers dig in real good in certain sensitive spots.  :o

I'm not a "hands off" advocate by any means, but we're all downwinders in the end.  ;D

Kinda off topic, but I wonder why anyone hasn't made a movie fictionalizing the life of Otzi the Iceman? Done right, that would be a movie to see! Some lucky primitive archer or bowyer would have a stint as technical adviser if the movie was done right.

Yeah I realize we are subject to the same laws as the rest and cant exist alone. I didnt mean that. I meant its ours to do as we please simply because we are the only creature that can. We do have the power to do what we want. And yes I realize everything plays a role in the system. Our role is "boss" ;D We do need to be a good boss though. I said they are here for our enjoyment. I was referring to the fact that we are the only creature here that can truly appreciate anything. The rest just exist and dont think about it.  I understand what your saying though. to each his own. :)
As far as chiggers go I have not figured out a way to enjoy them yet but Im sure there is a way :)

The only way to enjoy chiggers is if there was a hunt attached to it.  ;D

weird thing is that I NEVER get chiggers...even after doing landscaping for 6 years...never once had chiggers.  My dad gets them pretty much EVERY DAY.

I still don't know the reason I never get them chiggers

There was a German movie made in 1999 and it was pretty good as I recall; doku/fiction sort of thing...

Hallo Frank, what was the title if you remember?  I've got a few days left before I head back home, maybe I can get a copy.

If you havn't seen a 3D movie before then see it in 3D. If you have seed a 3D movie before don't bother. It doesn't really add to the story, but it has a good novely value and adds to the spectacle.
A bit like decorating a bow...not necessary, but a nice touch if that's what you feel like at the time.

Everyone I've talked to who spent the extra few bucks on the 3D version said it wasn't really worth it.

I think you have to see this is 3D! this isn't the old red/blue lens, cardboard 3D stuff. This was a totally different experience, do the 3D!

Def. pay the extra 2 bucks for the 3D.  Like said earlier, this is not the red/blue lens stuff.  It is well crafted imagery.  No cheap tricks.
