According to all the reputable sources I am aware of, coyotes have gradually colonized the northeast on their own, without any help from humans, except that humans destroyed the wolf populations in the area. I would be very interested to know of any scientific evidence that coyotes have an...

As you wish. I'll be happy to continue in different forum or a different time and place.

Okay, it seems we are agreed that the definition I proposed above is too broad. Now, you are proposing that an essential element of terrorism is that the action must be perpetrated by "someone that's so blinded by ideology that they are willing to do whatever it takes to convince other people...

So, let's test the definition against a few examples. If I am wearing a leather jacket, and an animal rights person comes up behind me and ruins it with spray paint, that person is a terrorist? Or, how about if someone is a white supremicist, and he burns up an empty church belonging to a...

I think you are on the right track with muskrats, but I would like to see a photo to be sure. Better yet, next time you are there, put your ear real close to the structure and see if you can hear anything in there that sounds like the Captain and Tennille.

Anybody who does anything violent (including acts that are just destructive to property), so long as the act is stimulated by some ideology, is a terrorist?

I suppose everything depends on the details and circumstances. If a landowner is trying to stop people from trespassing on his land, then he isn't ideologically motivated, nor would he be killing indiscriminately. If somebody got killed by his wire, the landowner would be guilty of murder, not...

Nobody should be trying to harm other people in the name of protecting the environment. Anybody who does that sort of thing is a criminal, plain and simple, and they certainly don't represent the broader community of conservationists. Even so, I think it's important to notice that someone...

Yes, those Egyptian muskrats have been showing up all over the Pine Barrens! Seriously, were they really shaped like pyramids, or were they just piles of mud and vegetation?

I suppose most of us, assuming we don't have law enforcement training and assuming we aren't armed, would be disinclined to confront lawbreakers, though, hopefully, as Bob is saying, we would try to find a way to protect someone who being attacked. Even so, you can often get a quick photo...

Ben, it might be more accurate to say it does have something to do with ATV's. Clearly, you are saying that ATV riders who engage in illegal activities are likely (not necessarily) to be violent people. Otherwise, why would you be reluctant to confront them or document the fact that they are...

Med, I'm just asking if anybody has the facts. We can speculate all we want, and we can get creative about all kinds of other possible scenarios, but what's the use? The only thing that really matters is the actual scenario. All I've heard is that a kid on an ATV got stopped by a cop, and the...

Good point. But it would seem to be somehow related to the kid on the ATV. Any updates?

That may be the place where the Lee Brothers replanted with hybrid pines. Or at least part of the clearcut was replanted with hybrids. It's an interesting queston how all those hybrids may affect the surrounding forest. Local botanists and ecologists were debating the question, and eventually...

I just saw a video of ATV riding at Atco raceway. Anybody know the situation out there. Maybe it's very limited access?

Tom, don't worry. The anal fungus of the Navy does not fear the word "grunt." Yep, I am fine with extract brewing, and, from what I can understand, we can make almost any kind of beer by varying the amount and types of extract and hops. I'm just want to try all-grain brewing too, and I'm not...

Ben, that is how I got started. My son gave me the Mr. Beer kit for Xmas, and all the beer I made with that kit has come out fine. I bet your Cedar Creek brews will be good, too. From what I have read, though, low mineral content in water tends to yield milder flavors in the beer, which would...

Thanks again for your hospitality, Tom! And thanks for being a patient instructor. Yeah, that is definitely a lot of fun. I can see how you can hooked on it. And the conversation definitely gets more interesting as the beer goes down the hatch.

I reckon there are lots of variables, and normally they would be different. For example, the water in the Batsto River is going to vary seasonally, and even on a day to day basis if rainfall and temperatures are taken into the equation, while aquifer water conditions might not fluctuate as much...

10-4! I plan to be over at Tom's place by around 3:00. He says that after a little riding we can head over to a bar called "Spirits." He says it's in a shopping strip close to his place on Cherry Street.
