While it’s common to hear about fragging* incidents in Vietnam, you rarely hear about the vast GI anti-war movement built by three years of sustained organizing in barracks, on bases, battlefields and ships and at armed forces academies like West Point.
Sen. Ted Cruz may have stressed liberty at his presidential bid announcement this week, but many who came to the packed Liberty University event were present only because they lacked the freedom to do otherwise.

When researchers in North Dakota set up "nest cams" over the nests of song birds, they expected to see a lot of nestlings and eggs get taken by ground squirrels, foxes, and badgers. Squirrels hit thirteen nests, but other meat-eaters made a poor showing. Foxes and weasels only took one nest each.

Because nature doesn't play by our idealized, romantic, and ultimately twisted versions of reality. Yes, it's WE that are twisted, not nature.
White-tailed deer.
