Wife's brother was an old Hippy & knew his way around the Desert and Highlands. He could live out on the trail - bagging enough food to eat as often as he liked. I went out on the trail with him a few times to learn what I could from him. I liked him - but Wifey says I didn't have to live with him.

Dammit - where's our golden parachutes? Oh, that's right, we worked and saved all those years so we could afford to retire.

I have to admit that when I got the axe in 2003 it was done with great respect----and a very nice golden parachute. That said---le pew deserves neither

I hope the NRA sues him.

I don't expect so either. But it would be nice to recover some of the money he stole.

Money isn't the root of all evil, but some people make getting as much of it as possible a primary goal. At what point is it enough? Interestingly, jurors in his trial will be able to set amounts he'll be required to pay back to the NRA.
