Sometimes Bob, raising the price makes a difference.
I think of the warthog.
The better half and I watch alot of the animal planet nature shows. Love them. They had some interesting film of a warthog getting bushwacked by a lioness. There he was grazing about, unaware that a large lioness was stalking him. When she made her move it was too late to run, so he lowered his head and charged right into her. Surprisingly, there was a hell of a fight for a few minutes. He got under her front end and was trying to disembowel her with his tusks, while she was hanging on for dear life trying to get a hold of his neck in the back. All the while the warthog was pushing the lioness back into this big thorn bush, and every time the lioness would get her back feet on the ground to push back, the hog would gouge her in the underside.
It was a hell of a real fight. Eventually the lioness got on top and killed the warthog, but then she was laying there exausted, panting, with some bloody fur on her cheast and belly, too d--m tired to eat. That warthog gave a good leason. Maybe next time I wonder if that lioness sees a warthog, she just may say the hell with it, just not that hungry. Ain't worth it, and go find a little Thomsons gazzel or something.
I feel like if we all just stop being victims, and act more like a warthog, there would be alot less crime. Sure, as an "older" person they can get my wallet and watch. But that will be AFTER the fight. I'm sure as all heck not going to make it easy for them!
The warthog has his tusks, I have my knarley old blackthorn stick. If the preditor is looking me over, I make no bones about choking up on my stick and looking him right in the eye, and let him know I'm ready if they are.
Warthogs are great inspiration.
