legal activities and call the cops to be self-centered assholes, you know. I wouldn't ever do that, but I rarely refer to anyone using that word.

Now, I don't know why the person in question hung his deer on that tree. Perhaps that's the only place he had to do so. Perhaps he did not have a tree in his back yard. Perhaps he didn't have a garage or the garage was full of stuff he was storing for a friend who lost his home in a foreclosure.

Perhaps he is hunting and butchering his own meat because he has no job and his family needs the food to eat. There are so many possibilities, none of which were even considered by the OP. Instead, the OP called the game warden on this person, only to be told that what the man was doing was perfectly legal. And then the OP came here and posted about it, only to be told by some DUers that what the man was doing was perfectly legal.

And, yet, it is those who recognize that hunting is perfectly legal and that game must be processed who are the "assholes." They're the "self-centered" ones, while the person doing the complaining about someone's legal activities is not acting in self-interest at all.

"Live and let live." That used to be the progressive creed. It's a shame that it is no longer honored by some who call themselves progressives. "Live, but don't do anything of which I disapprove or that troubles me in any way." Is that the new creed? I don't think so. I think that is the creed of those who are so wrapped up in their own selves that they cannot deal with anything that doesn't fit their interpretation of how things should be. Oh, well...
