Grizzly Headaches

Listening To- Architecture in Helsiniki- Scissor Paper Rock

So...yeah. I really think i did a number on my lower back (?lumbar?) playing fumble rumble yesterday. Whatever though, im sure it will heal, and i had a hell of alot of fun.

I also saw Grizzly man.

Now i dont know if you have any experience with this film or not, but let me just tell you right now that while the film itself is very interesting the actual "Grizzly Man" is, well, a bit of a whack job.

There is one sceen where Tim (Grizzly man) is angry and overwhelmed that adult bears were eating their young, and so, he decides to stick around and "help them"

- i really loved the comment made in the film that it seems like tim has forgoten there are predators...because he has. These bears were STARVING. Enought to eat their own young. That is a clear sign to me, as well as it should be to anyone else, that you might not want to stick around too long.

There was also a sceen where he had tampered with a stream to provide a place for samons to run. excuse me...YOU DONT DO THAT. Tampering with nature in the first place is what got us in this god afull mess...tim needs to realize that letting things take their course in nature is what to do...nature knows what its doing...its pretty experienced.

Please don't misunderstand me hear. I can realize that Tim thought he had a noble purpose...but he was ovbiously disillusioned by a perfect utopian view of nature. I love animals. Im a vegetarian (would be vegan if i wasnt up a school, where its hard enough to be vegetarian). But i certainly dont belive i can go into the wild and befriend animals. I can respect them sure, but there is still the boundary of "if they were hungry enough they could and would kill me."

Its horrible that the bears are being poached for sport and profit...but you have to CHANGE SOCIETY before you can stop that. Running around pretending your lord of the bears isnt going to help...if anything it will bring more harm to the bears by teaching them humans are not to be feared.

sorry about this rant. Tim's actions got under my skin. anyway in conclusion i would say see the movie. Its very interesting, and i would love to hear what you think.
