I must say that there is a vast difference between Vietnamese and Muslim people. No way am I interested in going to one of the latter countries nor am I interested in learning about their religion of "peace" or even being introduced to one of them.
Many years ago, when I was living in Ogden, Utah, a fellow officer in the Department of Defense Police at the Defense Depot, Martin MacMillan, taught me that whenever you go backpacking into the wilderness (which we had plenty of!), you should always carry some seeds to plant, so that some sort of food will grow in the places where you have camped.
It doesn't matter if an animal eats that food, or if it just rots and grows again.
The point is, you do something to improve the land everyplace you go, kind of like what's taught by the Boy Scouts of America, huh?
Thank you.

ReplyDeleteGood idea.
The Boy Scouts insisted that you leave the land in better condition than you found it.
ReplyDeleteI was a Cub, but don't remember much from that time.:)
ReplyDeleteWell now Brownies and Girl Scouts have to (or will have to) allow boys...go figure that one out.

When I was a Boy Scout, I would have loved to go camping with some Girl Scouts. ;);)
ReplyDeleteI got kicked out of the Boy Scouts for bringing a 5th of Jack on a camp out.
