the fastest growing plant is a bamboo (which is actually a grass) that grows at 3 feet a day, which has been clocked at growing at 0.0002mph. it has been used as a torture device where the victim was tied to a scaffold over it and its sharpened end grew threw them.
the right to 'protect ourselves'... hmmm,maybe the fact that guns are available to all suggests that the 'right to protect' has become an oppressive hegemonic force. Things are too far gone, they won't change quick. bleak but we gotta work with it.
I remember my sister, the most awesome and daring girl Ashanti, put me into the little flower basket at the front of her bike when we were small, she was 8 and i was 5, and we would see the world, she would tell me stories about how Attilla the Hun lived in the big bush on the corner of our street and how birds lived in Grandmas hair. Then one day she got so daring she hopped off her bike at the top of a hill and said 'Its time to become a man, you've got to grow up now' and pushed it with me in the basket down... i broke my arm that day, but became a man.
You are awesome dear, in times of need, you have all the strength in the world in your heart.
these guys are actually quite large when you see them, and when they 'dance', as the tourists say, they can jump over a standing human, and yes, they can jump 30 meters, they launch themselves from a higher branch to a lower one on another tree but still travel like 15-20m in the air between branches.
its a piece of playground equipment, you stand on the discs and hold the handles and then some form of unexpected excitable movement occurs, and a 'playful experience' is received... i have the exact same thing in my leather dungeon.
and are you so sure that what has been done is not 'genocide'
there are better ways to protect than with a firearm.
bleak but we gotta work with it.
