Now, the contents of my stomach are threatening to give way to my gag reflex.. yeesh. Sick and sad.

Rather "Christmasy", I think.
Oh Holey Night?

I believe it was the extraordinary David Attenborough that talked of mankind being the only species that you could wipe off the face of the planet, with no adverse impact on the earth and her ecology.
It is increasingly sounding like the lesser of two evils, no?
Take care, L.

How delightfully apt, cutter.
I revel in how your mind works with such notions.

Once I'm able to shake off the horror (some of us are pathetically soft, about small, helpless-in-the-face of the the mighty hunter,) I can't but help noticing the poor creature's eye and nose. Those features hold me in my longing to identify it as something recognizable ...
Then I immediately think of our U.S. veep, Mr. "go-"f"-yourself" Cheney. Now *there's* a mighty hunter, doing the work of the NRA, the oil industry *and* the awaiters of the Rapture, all bound in a single (ok, double,) white house term.
But what is that weapon du jour? Sorry I'm not a hunter - and I've yet to see the hunters outside my home (I live next to the Jefferson National Forest, which is huge,) swing their shotguns at stuffed sacks!
My Jongleur, I agree with Cutter, your festive mood's erupted in color - the appropriate red and green of the season. Sheesh.

That's quite true. It does sound like the lesser of two evils. I imagine this would be a stunning planet without us.

I suppose that my being sardonic was missed by some. Hopefully not by all.

No, no - I get it, and sardonic's good. Strangely, our world's become that mixed up. Don't you think?! My own sense of humor's typically quite dry and imperceptible much of the time alas. And many jokes, I'll give you, *do* go right over my head! If that happens again - I accept the elbow jab to the ribs ... but gently, eh?

I love the contradiction between the title and the image. The 'Mighty Hunter' isn't so mighty when hunting something defenceless. And the tag of 'couture' reflects our present society's superficial vanity.

It alarms me that both the things you mention are so prevalent, and run so much deeper.
Thank you for leaving me some thoughts.
Take care,
