Tonight's topic - "The Rebuttal"
Mr. Hughes - once again you are misinformed. While animals do kill for food, they have also been known to kill for the pure sport of it. It's presumed that foxes are hated by farmers because they kill sheep and chickens for their meals. Truth be told, foxes don't just kill enough to fill their stomachs. They kill for fun. They'll kill seven or eight chickens or four or five lambs just for the thrill of being a predator. The same can be said of Ted Bundy and George Patton. Many animals also eat their young -- even when they aren't necessarily hungry. Bears are known to kill other bears when fighting over a carcass. Throughout history human beings have also been known to fight over scarce resources (e.g. oil and a funny "Strange Breed" cartoon). Fish often eat their young, as do lions when they are impelled to do so by their genetic disposition -- presumably to rid their pride of bastard offspring. Given that Sadaam Hussein is a human being, well, let's just say we are also trying to rid our species of bastard offspring ... and contrary to the claims of Mr. Hughes, we don't necessarily have to eat him when the deed is done ... though we might.
