DUCKS: FILE UNDER VICIOUS & CRUEL
I stopped thinking ducks were benign, sorta cute, feathered creatures years ago. They're actually murderous beasts. With my own eyes I have seen several ducks attack another duck and drag it around by the neck. This wanton act of cruelty was carried out, brazenly, in the hey kids! feed the cute duckies! area of Lake Harriet. So I'm on Will Baude's side in the Great Crescat Sententia Poetic Duck Debate (a.k.a. the Scalia/Cheney Evil Duck Destroyers? Controversy).
But, unlike the Warrior Monk and his squirrel allergy, I don't act on my antipathy. Laziness has its virtues. From a duck's point of view, at least.
