My boy wins his first Competition

[Zep 0]

With a fathers pride I watched my 14 year old son take first place
in his first under 18 universal trench clay pidgeon competition,

I can't take the full credit for his win as the local club instructor saw his potential
and dedicated some of his free time with free lessons.

Well done Martì.

of course, your rich lifestyle and oppression of natural fowlery in the wild is directly attributable to the Bush tax cuts and the debt owed to all the perversely rich congressmen

thusly, the win is not really a credit, but something taken off of the backs of women and minorities who would have done better but the are currently tied down by their bootstraps to the corporate facism of big business, especially those businesses that are owned by republicans

in a fair world, you should donate $5 per bullet to the us treasury and then another $1 to Jesse Jackson and then the medal or trophy from the comp should be cut up into 10 equal pieces for each of ten other competitors - for their self esteem

frankly, the other kids should be praised for missing these endangered birds on purpose - since it's much more difficult to miss a target with a gun - since untended guns have a natural 'kill reflex' due to the nanothermites. they are the true heroes - the other shooters, not the nanos.

I suggest strong counselling for the boy and perhaps some seminars on tolerance and advocacy. I mean, clearly the only reason he won was to put down the other kids and not because he enjoys the activity or wants to be good at something.

you did post this in Speaker's Corner

{good job - how many birds did he hit vs attempts?}

A hug and a handshake to your son.

Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

just a one box comp? that's a pile of pressure. good for him


we can blame George Bush for the 6 misses - or global warming.
