And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

A woman on a 107-mile kayak journey from Ketchikan to Petersburg said she had to hitch a ride to Wrangell on a sailboat after a bear ate her kayak
Mary Maley claims she was outside a U.S. Forest Service cabin in Berg Bay, 22 miles southeast of Wrangell, when the hungry bear approached.
The U.S. Forest Service office in Wrangell said Wednesday morning that it had not heard of the encounter, but confirmed the video was taken from its Berg Bay cabin.
At the beginning of the video, Maley is heard thanking the bear for "not eating my kayak," before the animal turns around to do just that.
Over the next two minutes, Maley yells repeatedly at the bear, tries to bargains with it and pepper sprays it.
"Please stop, bear," she pleads at one point. "It's September, why are you here? You're supposed to be asleep."
For its part, the bear continues to gnaw on the sea kayak lying on the ground outside the cabin.
"Bear, please stop breaking my things. It's not even food, it's doesn’t even taste good -- it's just plastic," Maley says.
Hahahaha! That bear knew how to ignore her. She's lucky it didn't turn around and chase her. She would have been far more satisfying to eat than the tough old kayak.
Maybe the bear was deaf and couldn't understand her heart felt progressive pleadings as another Gaia inhabitant. In that case, the percussive shock wave of a 45-70 might have got bears notice.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't these freaks arm themselves against bears?
DeleteShe had some bear spray, but was apparently too afraid to march up to the bear and use it. The bear could tell by the tone of her voice and her lack of resolve that she wasn't serious, so he ate her gear.
DeleteI'm surprised she is still alive. Foolish, stupid woman for traveling alone and not being armed. Wonder if she learned a very valuable lesson?
ReplyDeleteSomehow I doubt she learned anything from this...
DeleteIf I NEVER hear the word BEAR ( not Beer) again for the rest if my life I'll be fine with it.
ReplyDeleteBy the way... THIS is why little precious snowflakes are the way they are. Can you picture this above scenario at the super market? Just exchange "bear" with a kids name.
