Rattle Snake Logic. After the Boston bombing the news media has spent days and weeks trying to determine why these men did what they did. They want to know what America did to make these brothers so angry with us. They want to know why these men were not arrested before they did something so terrible. The media is in a tizzy about this new era of home grown radicals, and about why they could live among us and still hate us. A friend of mine from Texas explained it all to me: Here in west Texas I have rattlesnakes on my place, living among us. I have killed a rattlesnake on the front porch. I have killed a rattlesnake on the back porch. I have killed rattlesnakes in the barn, in the shop and on the driveway. In fact, I kill every rattlesnake I encounter. I kill rattlesnakes because I know a rattlesnake will bite me and inject me with poison. I dont stop to wonder why a rattlesnake will bite me; I know: It will bite me because its a rattlesnake and thats what rattlesnakes do. I dont try to reason with a rattlesnake.I just kill it. I dont try to get to know the rattlesnake better so I can find a way to live with the rattlesnakes and convince them not to bite me.I just kill them. I dont quiz a rattlesnake to see it I can find out where the other snakes are, because (a) it wont tell me, and (b) I already know they live on my place. So, I just kill the rattlesnake and move on to the next one. I dont look for ways I might be able to change the rattlesnake to a non-poisonous rat snake...I just kill it. Oh, and on occasion, I accidentally kill a rat snake because I thought it was a rattlesnake at the time. Also, I know, for every rattlesnake I kill, two more are lurking out there in the brush. In my lifetime I will never be able to rid my place of rattlesnakes. Do I fear them? No! Do I respect what they can do to me? Yes! And because of that respect I give them the fair justice they deserve...I kill them.... Maybe as a country we should start giving more thought to the fact that these jihadists are just being like rattlesnakes, and act accordingly! In God We Trust! I love this country, its the government Im afraid of
