Default RE: Ok Ethics Police ........2 Part Question .................................................

Germ,
We're talking about Civil rights and not necessarily the "Bill of Rights" there is a difference, but both areimportant and the foundry of this country none the less.......you don't agree with that?

Guys.....

Do I think stepping a few feet on someones property will be the end of the world?.......No, BUT does that make it right? Would I ever stop someone from retrieving their deer on my families property in a situation like that? No. Do I think those who do are jerks? Yep. But they still have that right.

If someone doesn't want you on their land why in the world wouldn't you honor that?....because of a deer????Since when doyou get to choose what is worthy of trespassing? Maybe the next guy will think grabbing an apple off of one of your trees is equally as important as retrieving a deer.....is it ok for that person to trespass? Where does it end?

You see, what's important to you may not mean a hill of beans to another person. Private property is private property and the fact that so many obviously think it's ok to trespass because of a deer leads me to think some folks have their priorities screwed up.

The only time you should be able to trespass is when your, or someone else's life is in threat of death or great bodily harm or some other type of emergency, other than that what else is more important than civil rights????? a deer?

Now I can see where this situation would be a test of ones will (I even said it's not an easy decision) and I can see where one might think...."what will it hurt, it's just a couple of feet" It's these times that you must stop, think and realize that there is MORE to life and the quality of life that a damn deer.

Societal evolution is tantamount to turning a large ship.....it starts out slow and small but once in motion, it's extremely difficult to stop it. The Soviet Union was destroyed not by one fell swoop....but brick by brick. You may not think it's hurting anyone to but it's another brick being removed.
