I agree with Gary about exterminating half of humankind-do it in a
humane, instantaneous, without warning, way.

How would you do it? What would your selection process be?

Can't remember the book name but the story involved the accidental
missile launch from the US on a city in Russia. To avert WWIII the US
quickly offered to Russia that they launch against a comparable city in
the US without any attempt to block/retaliate. The president's family
just happened to be in the comparable city. Good book.

But I digress from raccoons oh yeah breakfast. One night on the highway
I came upon about 8 or 9 good-sized raccoons gathered together on the
highway surrounding a raccoon that had been hit by a car. My window was
partly down, and I came to a stop for a moment, and they were
crying...no... wailing, in grief-it was quite heart-rending.

Breakfast this morning was grilled flank steak and pumpkin pie :-)
