Maryland Group Accuses Hunters of Substance Abuse, Mental Instability
EFL
A group trying to stop a bear hunt in Maryland sent 600 postcards to landowners in Garrett County claiming that 40 percent of the sportsmen with permits to take part in the hunt are alcoholics, drug addicts or mentally unstable. The postcards were mailed out by the Institute for Public Safety, a citizens group from nearby Montgomery County, urging residents to exercise special caution during the state's first black-bear hunt in 51 years, which is set to begin Oct. 25.
The Institute for Public Safety? Hmph! Calling hunters mentally unstable doesn't secure one's saftey. Just a thought....Say, just where did they come up with these numbers?
Earle Hightower of outer space Rockville, Md., a real estate agent who serves as chairman of the institute for alien life forms, told the Associated Press that the group simply made up the statistic (emphasis added). "We were just working from general population figures," Hightower said. "If you get 200 people, a certain number are going to be somewhat undesirable."
Hey, I can play this game too. Watch. Over 90% of members of the MSM are _________ .
