Britney Spears and responsible hunting??

I want to talk about Britney Spears. Sure, everyone has heard more than enough about her talent (or lack of), her partying, parenting skills (see “talent”), and so on. Besides, we all know she hates hunting and fishing, even though she was raised in the great Republic of Texas…Did she fall on her head or something?

So, why this, here? Simply because Britney Spears is a poster child for a culture gone wrong. She takes credit for all the good things that have happened to her, as if she was the only person responsible, yet she blames all her troubles everywhere EXCEPT where the real blame lies – herself! She has the ”victim’s mentality” – poor me, she says, it’s not my fault I can’t control my own behavior, the press is out to get me, my ex is the devil, etc….okay, maybe there is some truth to the last part. Still, she has it all backwards.

Britney Spears would be just another trashy girl in a trashy neighborhood, except that somebody at Walt Disney gave her a break. Is she really that talented? How does her singing career and voice compare to her fellow Mouseketeer, Christina Aguilera? Now, tell me Britney didn’t get a break!!

The bottom line is, she takes credit for things she had very little to do with, and yet refuses to accept responsibility for her own actions when things do not go as she wanted.
I find that same attitude in nearly every anti-hunter or “animal rights activist” I have encountered. These nut jobs still blame Mommy for all their problems, yet they still live with her; after all, who else would put up with their whining?

Hunters and fishers know that they have very little control over their quarry, and this is the main attraction to these activities! Game and fish go where they choose, and respond in ways that confound us on a regular basis. We hunt and fish because we want to accept the challenge on its own terms, and we accept the results as they come. We work hard to learn our quarry and the laws that protect them and each other. We invent technology to help us, and return to the tools of our ancestors to enhance the challenge.
So why make fishing and hunting harder? Because we want to be able to say to ourselves and our peers that we rose to a challenge, and that the challenge itself was more important that success alone. Too bad our “mainstream media” and entertainment industry lives just the opposite way. Because some guy or girl with a pretty face got paid a lot of money to sing a song or play make believe for a few minutes at a time, the rest of us are supposed to do as they tell us. After, they are “successful”, right? Don’t they have more money, cars, jets, etc. than we will ever have? Since wealth is the American success story, these talking heads must be smarter and just plain better than we are. Remember Leona Helmsley’s quote at her trial for tax evasion,”Only the little people pay taxes.”

Don’t you believe it! How much is Miss Spears’ money helping her now? Can she buy her children back? How about if she lip-synched for the judge? All of Kanye West’s bitching got him exactly how many Video Music awards? – zero!

If these yahoos had been raised as hunters and fishers, they would be a lot more appreciative of the opportunities that America produced for them. Remember Shania Twain had to come to America to make it big in her home country of Canada!

Don’t even get me started on Hillarycare or any other socialized medicine schemes from the left…
