So remind me again how many confirmed attacks we know have been committed by these bad egg sasquatch?

I think what a "preserve and protect" approach has going for it is the history of how benign they are....for centuries they have been moving about quite freely, it appears, with a minimum of disruption to our lives, it seems. They do not prey on livestock to any great extent we know of, do no noticeable degree of property damage and subsist largely on a game animal, the population of which even they and us combined can't seem to put a (much needed) dent in. Seems like all that would be required is to officially acknowledge they are there and try to map their ranges as best we can. Preserving their habitat (if we can agree on what it is) would be an obligation that would reap unintended benefits as well for lots of other species. If they are human, and given that we have not much of a chance of containing them in BF "Reservations", that option seems dead on delivery. If they are primates or some "other", ditto. Really, our ability to change, manage or steer this outcome will be very limited indeed.

MIB is correct. "Dangerous" simply implies the potential capacity to do harm or violence. It does not demand that potential be acted upon. I, too (not unlike many others) am a dangerous man, yet I have not killed another person in cold blood, nor engaged in a physical altercation without justification and provocation. Temperament, the weight of personal responsibility, and moral constraints keep the many dangerous "good" people from becoming a menace. I'd suspect it's similar (at least as far as temperament) in the Bigfoot world.

By your faux-logic I should be hallucinating bigfoot in my living room, not in the woods where I belong. I grew up out there. Not merely rural, but *raised backwoods*. (Don't mistake that for uneducated, that'd your second mistake, and underestimating my IQ would be a third.) Hasn't happened. It's a safe enough bet that it isn't going to. Further, I didn't detect any odor during sightings. I detected it independent of sightings. Sometimes associated with other things, but not sightings. Funny thing about smells ... unless two "observers" are in the same cloud of scent, all we have as a basis for comparison are words. We don't know if we're using the same words to describe different things or not. The assumption that they are the same is pretty weak. IMHO of course. What you've said is pure foolishness. Drew's hypothesis is not an explanation, it's a rationalization to justify sweeping inconvenient witness testimony under the carpet. No more, no less, and it should be identified clearly as such.

Flashman, your post #11: That rock throwing condition has been diagnosed as 'ballistico-rocktosis'. I saw a PBS special on it awhile back. They are years away from a vaccine. In the meantime, over-the-counter measures work well in the way of Ever Clear/moonshine. By consuming those cures, no pathogen on the planet will recognize your body as a host. Opens up the veins and arteries so no migraines.

If people have a migraine and don't know it... how do we know that people have migraines that they don't know about? (I don't expect an answer...just thinking)

It that was IT is? And all those times I was driving down the road and a horrible smell infiltrated my vehicle...I was silly enough to think it was a skunk!
