Bettejo Dux has lived on the cosmic Island of Kaua'i for over 40 years. She is a people lover, animal lover and lover of life.Today she talks about a new sport... Enjoy! www.bettejodux.com |
Why not sanction killing as a sport?
Rap Brown, a Black Panther, said, “Violence is as American as cherry pie.” That’s certainly true.
Americans are also innovative. Resourceful. We are entrepreneurs. We love to make money.
We have industrial parks, doggy parks, national and state parks. Why don’t we have killing parks?
Think of it. They’d be large wild and wooded areas. Fenced. Patrolled. Good jobs.
Just as in a ski resort, one with the killing instinct could rent a weapon — or weapons — ammo, armored vests, boots, camouflage suits, helmets, binoculars. The works.
You could buy time. A one-day killing spree? A week? You’d need tents and stuff. Food and water. Wow!
You hunt those who are hunting you.
Hey, you could sell tickets to those who would like to watch — in safety of course — the killers stalking.
Coffins. Funerals. Ribbons. Medals. Photos of the winners. Photos of the dead. Videos. YouTube. Facebook.
Sorry, I gotta run. I want in on this.
I’m writing my representative in Washington and asking for a franchise.
Peace and love, Bettejo Dux
