   Perhaps unwittingly Kevin chose the right quote? :)   
      
   I don't think there is such an extreme dichotomy as he's trying to make   
   out. When it comes to hunting, I usually sit firmly on the fence because   
   the issues are very complicated and far from black and white. For one   
   thing a whole variety of different activities are lumped under the   
   general heading of "hunting", some of which I think are perfectly OK and   
   some I don't.
