Are we our own worst enemy?

How could I argue with that?   He tried (is still trying) to do the same to me.   But the best way I know to *NOT* become the thing I loath is to be fully honest with myself and others.  

There is a lot to be said for your last point there. I remember falling for Fausty when he first appeared on BF I think it was in the summer of 2004. Everything he said sounded right to me. He speaks a lot of truth and it is no surprise that he manages to draw in people the way he does.




I wish things were different but I can't make them different.




I think a line needs to be drawn when we get in to the territory where people (and naturally animals in this context) can get hurt. If Fausty were off completely on his own doing his own thing none of this would matter. The way things are though reminds me of moths drawn to a halogen bulb...  drawn to the light before going up in the inevitable puff of smoke.




Ultimately whatever I've written here I will freely admit is for naught. I gave up years ago trying to be any sort of guardian of the zoo community. It is just too painful watching these things unfold and meet their inevitable ends.
