And a gay old time was had by all....

File under "Two roosters don't make a chicken:"Japan Zoo Discovers How Not to Breed Hyenas
Staff at Maruyama Zoo in the northern city of Sapporo spent years trying to get two spotted hyenas to reproduce with zero success only to find that both animals were male. Hyenas Kami and Kamutori arrived as “a couple” at the zoo from South Korea in October 2010 and were put in the same cage for breeding in 2012. The zoo said in a statement that the two animals never showed any breeding behavior and were very often fighting. “They remained confrontational, leaving bite marks on each other,” one of the zookeepers told Japan Real Time.

Your Say

My uncle Letsgo Lozko coulda showed them a thing or two about breeding. He raised bantam chickens.

Perhaps they haven't hear that SCOTUS allows anything these days.

I welcome the asteroid we so richly deserve. I just hope it's a bulls-eye. I don't want to limp away from a glancing blow.

My uncle Louie Lozko, we all called him "Letsgo Lozko", he raised bantam chickens. He was one of those guys that went to war in the forties. Put his life on hold for a few years, went "over there" and took care of business and then came home.
"Wat? Wat? I went dere, did some tings, came home. Dat's all."

"When Blacks riot, neighborhoods burn. When Whites riot, continents burn."

He never tolerated queers, said there was something wrong with their heads, not their crotches. He also raised bantam roosters. When one of them went bad he'd take 'em to the chopping block, BAM, just like that.

He said as for the bantam chickens, those little sumbitches are the living descendants of velociraptors. I wouldn't be messing with 'em.

Well, maybe YOU deserve that asteroid but I don't.
But I catch your drift.

In the absence of gov't the misfits will disappear almost over night – some will straighten up and fly right, others will just be gone, no one knows where or how.

The expansion of the gov't has created a multi-level protection agency for the oddities that used to get naturally weeded out by society.

True ghost. Back in earlier times society kept itself pretty clean. Just as Nature does when humans don't mess with it.

Several tried and true guidelines:

You don't work you don't eat;

You do something wrong you get punished.

Gentle readers, don't hang up on a definition of "wrong". There are several basic injunctions for people living in a society — don't kill. don't lie or cheat, don't steal, help others, and so on. Keep it simple.
