Bears generally avoid man. Reason being is the rifle has more range than the paw. Bears have learned not to go in areas near people, though if a bear is after food it may go into people areas or areas that are dominated by human scent. The bears I encountered on my backpacking trip never attacked me.
If that was not my imagination, and there was really a bear if I had moved it could have thrashed me with one swipe of its paw. Rendering me very hurt. So I avoided that. I was petrified. I believe it smelled the scent of the shampoo residue in my hair. I believe all animals humans are born with instinct and possess the ability to learn. A new born baby knows how to cry. That is a rather complex process that you never learn how to do, though some people can do it on command, but that does not count. The newborn baby also knows how to suck. And If a baby will see a nipple for example a fathers nipple and try to suck on it. Then the baby knows what is a nipple is before speach. The baby may learn to not suck on such nipple for it does not produce milk, in most circumstances. Speach being how we formulate most of our thought and it has proved through the ages to be a very helpful form of communication. Bears have a disadvantage. The bears front legs are shorter than the hind legs, with the center of gravity that a bear has it will prove very difficult to catch a human running down hill. I know this because I have this book about Bears attacking and what to do and not to do. I especially like the part when the hunter is gouging the eyes out of the bears head with an arrowhead. It was very riveting. Life evovles. That is nature learns, life adapts, life continues. I am attempting to get the human society that I live to adapt to a different energy source, one that may eliminate the need for many existing ways to harness energy. The method I would prefer to harness energy comes mostly from the sun. The sun is the closest object with so much mass and energy in relation to earth; I think we should want to harness some of that energy. Plants do this very efficiently. If you agree and it seems like I have said this before then let someone who has not read it read it, to create a broader base of knoweldge in the overall populous of the world, not just the USA, as to allow for better formulation of thought, simply educate the world with truth.

Yeah, you went backpacking in areas where bears have been trained/conditioned not to look at humans as food, not when you've got people like you throwing garbage away everyday, even if it's into trashcans. The bears adapted. They learn. A garbage can is a hell of lot easier to tackle than a man. You know crap. I live out in the country with bears and wolves and come calving season, bears are a real nuisance. They won't come near a truck but they'll take on anyone trying to stand between them and a new born calve. You know crap. I don't know why you even brought on that bullcrap about your near genius IQ. This little post of yours just prove how very little intelligence you've got and how lazy you are to try finding out the answers.

It really shows you know absolutely nothing.
Bears can't eat trucks and I've seen bears rip an SUV apart trying to get at the things inside. They know it ain't alive and thus no threat. The only thing that would stop a bear from going through me at that calve is my .30-06 and it ain't fear stopping the bear. It's me putting a round into the damn thing. I don't have anger issues. I have putting up with stupidity issues. And you qualify in spades. You are what you eat. What a load of crap. I don't see you giving two gallons of milk a day. |

As many great minds before me have said "The more I know, the more I know I do not know" or I could say as others have "I know nothing."
Bears are pretty inelligent they will get inside an SUV when they smell food in it. They will not get the food from the SUV that is driving down th road or a path. The bear is smart it will get the food from with the SUV when the SUV is sleeping. Quote:

Privatise water? Privatise sun? Great.
Lets privatise man and woman and the open a company called 'Privatised Conception Inc'! There will no problems in the election over abortion and non abortion. And the Pope shall be pleased! I nominate Praxus for the Nobel Prize for his theories and also the Pulitzer for his eloquent writings!

Otherwise, lets say the water takes a few years to kill me, how will you prove it was the water? And do we really want a society based on reactionary litigation, where friends and family have to go to court to avenge the deaths of loved ones as the only way of getting clean drinking water? |

If the atmosphere gets polluted enough then it would be possible and probable that air would be privatised in the sense you would have to buy it. Selling clean air, wouldn't that suck to have to buy clean air.
Stop buying dirty fuel. If the water supply continues to be contaminated the price the consumer pays for water will increase. Persons living in most towns and cities have to buy water nowadays. The exception is people with their own wells, however more and more these wells get polluted. Though 4 big bottles of Dawn detergent will remove PCB's from a well. My father, my older brother and I were the first persons to successfully do so in the State of Minnesota. We got the idea from some people in Wisconsin that did something similiar. Fight the Corporatization of the World, specifically the resources we require to sustain life. |

I ain;t got a problem with corporates being involved in water processing. I don't want a well and all that hassle. I have a whole resevoir on the end of my tap.
However when it comes to things like water, there must be accountability, and the free market is not accountable enough, nor quickly enough in some areas. Therefore you gotta have some other process to ensure this. Hence environmental legislation. |

I would prefer to have well, though i prefer the rural life. A well if placed at the proper depth will provide better water in my opinion with very little risk of drying up.
I agree with environmental legislation, to ensure quality. In effect such legislation should increase competition and promote capitalism. If we use vegetable oil seed crops for a energy source we can reduce the level of carbon dioxide in the environment, and it would stop releasing sulphur into the atmosphere because sulphur is not released through the burning of vegetable oil fuels. There is some sulphur that is released into the EARTH's atmosphere naturally, however increase from human's burning of fossil fuels is unhealthy. |

Global Warming even at a few fraction of a degrees is very significant to Polar Ice Caps, though I do not know why you are trying to counter a point I have not made yet?
I am strictly speaking that in nth amount of time the air may become too polluted for people to breath, thus forcing people to buy clean air, or air cleaning supplies, such an industry would be bad methinks. |
