"Grey bears are aplenty and they are employed (and sought after too)."

Do you give them guns or shoot them? I personally do not believe in the right to arm bears but the US has other ideas.

I am 52, I retired at 45 and now chill in the south of Europe, glad to have left the UK and glad to be free of corporate I.T. people who know very little and at the slightest provocation will launch a prelim meeting as a precursor of other meetings to follow. I managed to get a personell person very drunk and whispered that a fortune could be made if I had my contract ended. What they did not know was that I had an 18 month gardening leave contract! I did extremely well out of that and when they called me back in at a later date to do some work, I charged ten times the going rate as I did not want anything to do with it but they were desperate.
