Had a disagreement with a guy earlier regarding this topic. It all started with the old people and minorities I want killed off with the budget cuts to Meals on Wheels. I mentioned Hunters for the Hungry not really needing government to be successful. He said if I were a real Christian I would want to help poor people and that I should read my Bible. He then said after the EPA is left high and dry that I wouldn�t have anywhere to hunt and wouldn�t be able to donate to Hunters for the Hungry. And that all the rivers will look like the White House fountain after Trump is done with the EPA. I said �because there will be no one around to stop Trump from pouring green dye in the rivers?� It went downhill from there. I really had him fired up. I�m sure he probably threw his hipster fedora across the room.
This was just me trolling twitter. I hate that I love it so much, but I get on there and do this about every day. It usually starts at lunch and goes on. They are usually about the feels so it doesn�t take long to get them tied up like a pretzel. I�m sure if he were in person he would be shouting at me. Anyway, this is the first time I�ve actually been told by someone that my ability to hunt would be affected by the EPA cuts. I completely disagree with it, as it�s just hysterics. But, it did get me thinking. There are a lot of things us sportsman do ourselves like Hunters for the Hungry or NWTF. We don�t ask the federal government for help and don�t want it. Can any of you see any evidence this will require us to pick up the slack somewhere else that would be left short by EPA cuts? I don�t, but this isn�t a trick question. I�m honestly curious if y�all can think of any place.
Update: I read my Bible. Didn't find government mandated charitable giving. I did see where Paul said not to give grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. I probably need to go tell the guy I argued with...boy is he going to be mad he was wrong.
