If anyone has suggestions/objections and can present them in a well-reasoned manner, like Vic, I'd be happy to listen.
Watching all this boasting makes me smile; nothing has been done yet, but everyone knows how to do it better.
My brother was right: DO IT AND DON'T INTERFERE (don't argue with anyone).
- Crow, what are you doing?
- Just showing off.
- Can I do it too?
- Well, if you really want to...
And the hare starts to insult the wolf after the crow. Suddenly, the wolf jumps up, the crow flies to a branch, and the hare is caught in the wolf's paws. The crow says to the hare:
- Why can't you fly?
- No!!!
- Then why were you showing off???
I'm saying that this approach is generally correct, and I often do it myself. But it's not because I'm some arrogant jerk who doesn't care about anyone, but because I know that it's the right and necessary thing to do, so if anything happens, I can convincingly justify all my actions and also find supporters and a support group. In the opposite case, I don't just jump in headfirst with my fly unzipped.
