    a fed bear is a dead bear, just a matter of time. I highly encourage you to report them to the fish and game authorities in the area, for the sake of the bear and others in your neighborhood

    We have pecan trees. Those stupid rats with tails will wipe out the whole crop if left unchecked. :(

    Dont folks on the left generally get miffed by public property being used to push any agenda?

    I am fine with red, white and blue at Christmas if that makes everyone feel better.

    Rainbow colored bridges are not uniting. Red white and blue should be.

    Or maybe we think its time to just have us all under one flag again.its just getting silly. Every month is something else to the point it has diluted any point.

    Let's not start by skewing the narrative. This is not about the color of bridges. But to your point, why are rainbow colors not uniting? Why should RW&B be? Not all U.S. citizens have the same concept of "team" that you do. For example, people can be patriotic w/o the flag. Keep in mind that there are several occasions (July 4, Memorial Day, Flag Day, Veterans Day) when folks can celebrate the RW&B. This instance is a matter of FL refusing to give the LBBTQ community its representation of pride. And if you want to compete about the # of days, then fine. Let the big gov in FL at least give a handful of days for the rainbow flag. Should that be such a problem?

    "Not all U.S. citizens have the same concept of "team" that you I do"?...I mean me and 100'S of millions of Americans for generations.

    I think liberals are sorta tired of all the "month" bombardments too, but they couldnt argue if they admitted it. No reason for public bridges to have to follow the corporate bombardments.

    I don't know what you're referring to. Why are you quoting "i see it." Did I write that?

    I would ask why they are not? I fail to see how alternate lifestyles in and of themselves harm anyone, much less that they might be seen as divisive. But, yes, I'd prefer that those with alternate lifestyles go about their lives without displaying flags and banners. The vast majority do.

    I would believe you if didn't see all the confederate flags, Gadsden flag, Trump flags, Lets go Brandon Flags, and whatever else that side likes to fly.

    When it comes to banning flags for the sake of unity, how about your side goes first?

    I'm not. Why? Because it has zero impact on my life.

    Its got all the colors instead of a few, its the most uniting combination of colors actually. Red white and blue? Might as well surrender to the British (or France), those are their colors too.

    Oh, yes they do but so far they have been very infrequent visitors to the neighborhood.
    My battle has been against flying and grey squirrels and raccoons. There is no bear-buster bird feeder possible :)

    our bear rules put into the HOA docs and our env. guy say no bird feeders because of the spillage on the ground as much or more so than the seed in the container. lots of entertaining squirrel proof bird feeders out there. some hilarious videos on you tube of squirrels vs inventors
