    The wife just picked up a fake seal fur purse the other day. Not that she has anything against the hunt (being a PEI Mi'kmaq woman), but it only cost her $5. I joked with her about having to watch her back for animal-terrorists, but the fact is, here in PEI (which is almost exclusively rural) the possibility exists. Not with locals, but with the washed out celeb crowd as Colin mentioned. At this time of year, the bambistas are running rampant.

    Slightly off-topic, but I can get my fill of seals this time of year, as they are right up against our shore. The kids try to play with them like dogs, but theys mean little critters. The seals, not the kids.

    I was actually thinking about this the other day. See, I have a sealskin sporran with a seal fur front. Thought about it, then said to myself, "If anyone gives me trouble, it becomes their problem, not mine."

    So, I'm at peace with the issue.

    I think forcing people to wear wood and plastic shoes is what would be barbaric!

    I don't think we have to worry. And even if PETA or some similar organization decided to make what we wear their issue-of-the-moment, I wouldn't pay any attention to them.

    That's probably the best idea. Just ignore them. But then, if someone poured red paint on me, well, it wouldn't be red paint on them
