So to all those wackos out there - what makes you go and take out a bunch of fellow humans? Something that caused the train to go off the track is what many a highly paid pyschoanalyst will conclude. Circumstance, conditions, influence whatever you call it, to me it boils down to breakdown of a moral fibre that cannot distinguish right vs. wrong.
So this is what us huamns are capable of. We can land a robot on Mars millions of miles away - without having been there and yet we can come up with the idea to use a semi automatic weapon and take the life of unknown individuals even if it killed oneself in the process.
To all these disturbed souls I have an alternative. Try to focus on more annoying creatures that may be ripe for a trim. Pigeons, squirrels or geese come to mind. If you live in suburbia or near a large city as I do there is an overwhelming presence of these critters.
Cities and counties acutally spend good money (which they borrow at exorbitant rates pegged to the LIBOR or some goobledigook) to clean monuments, statues and buildings of the defecation from said avians and also go to great lengths to treat disease spread by the same.
Can these governments put out a wanted ad (before the guy goes criminal and is wanted for different reasons) to sign up for taking out all annoying creatures and get paid a $1 for every kill?
I know PETA or some such will go ape shit (no pun) with this proposal. But hey someone has to think of us humans?

Specifically landing for NYE 2026 in San Jose, Costa Rica. Capital city for this region that does not have its own army, instead relying on its big bro the Estados Unidos to the north is a metropolis of approx. 500K people. Largely wilderness and with both a Pacific and Carribean/Atlantic coast the country is rich in bio diversity. In Spanish it means the rich coast so named by Columbus landing in early 16th century and being mesmerized by the local tribes sporting gold jewelry. Our stay included visiting the foothills of a large strato volcano called Arenal and enjoying the naturally heated thermal baths for a while. Lunching amidst lush forest and watching indigenous species of avian noise makers fly overhead. Toucans, some sort of pea hens, multiple song bird species completed the spectacle. Iguanas and a lonel...
