Hello, all you literate readers and others 🙂
Everyone knows that there are good and bad men in shoes! But who & with what right think that wolverines, loons, wolves, bears, moose etc. large carnivores and herbivores are not allowed to spread out like men in shoes? It would be best if men in shoes became food in the ditch branch & clothes without bullet holes for rag collection, i.e. used for recycling (panta more) as with many others, is there labor or are they too educated? Someone with knowledge might be able to see into the future?

Why do you have a question column when you barely answer questions you get anyway?
Or is it that only subscribers get a reply?
Claes Nilsson
Hello! We answer the questions we can answer. 🙂 A lot of what comes in is mainly opinions – which can also be accommodated sometimes, but it is difficult for us to answer such things and it is perhaps more suitable for other forums.
