All About Deer by Gloria Hendrickson

I became interested in deer, when an acquaintance had mentioned to me that she didn't like Sarah Palin. I asked her why did she have such a view of the Republican Vice Presidential Elect? Her answer completely took me off guard, because she replied that Sarah Palin shoots animals. You no doubt remember that Saturday Night Live and other media constantly joked about Sarah Palin being a hunter and shooting moose. I asked my acquaintance if she is a vegetarian? She replied that she is not a Vegetarian. I then reminded her that the chicken, hamburgers and hot dogs that she eats were once living animals.



The person that I mentioned as my acquaintance is not a young child but a 35 year old woman. It is just amazing to me that most Americans eat meat everyday and never relate that these were live animals at one time. If we had to hunt for our food as was the life style even less than 100 years ago when people lived on farms and raised chickens, pigs and cows.

I came along at the end of the era was changing where people flocked to the cities and purchased food from the neighborhood butcher. When I was a child and we visited family who lived in the southern USA, I remember that I could not stand the smell of fresh eggs or a freshly killed chicken. That is why I wonder how many of us would be meat eaters if we had to experience the actual killing and butchering of an animal for food.

Now how is all of this related to my interest in deer? Well, after Sarah Palin had come on the National scene, I began to do research about the life style in Alaska. Sarah Palin had said that she didn't hunt moose, but she had hunted caribou.

There are different types of deer, they belong to the Cervidae Family. In the USA these are the different types of deers (White-tailed deer, Mule deer, Caribou, Elk, and Moose). I live in Maryland and the White-Tailed Deer is dominant here. Although we are living in the period of time that we don't have to hunt for a living. There are recreational hunters here in Maryland that hunt deer during the government regulated deer season. I discovered that fact on a local radio show. Ellis Outdoors

Books About Barrack Obama

The Presidential race of Barrack Obama, the Democratic Nominee has proved to be a phenomenon. Although he was known in Chicago. He rose to the USA national scene within two years of his campaign.

He is not the first African American to enter the Presidential race, however he is the first to receive the nomination by the Democratic Party. Shirley Chisholm was the first African American to became a Presidential candidate with the Democratic Party on January 23, 1972. She lost the Democratic nomination to Governor McGovern who lost the Presidential Office to Richard Nixon, the Republican Nominee.

Jesse Jackson was the second African American to enter the Presidential race. He was a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1984. Former Vice President Walter Mondale won the Democratic Nomination for President, however Ronald Reagan won the U S A Presidency. What is also interesting in this 1984 campaign is that Mondale had selected Geraldine Ferraro as his running mate for Vice President. Mondale only won one state which was his home state of Minnesota. While Reagan won 49 out of 50 states.

Many citizens are upset that McCain has chosen a woman as a running mate for the 2008 Presidential election. He chose Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska. He announced his decision on August 29,2008 So the 2008 Presidential race is full of surprises.

There are many books that are available about all of these candidates.
