Bad form consecutive posting, but I just read this:

Duke of Wellington: "By God, sir, I see you have."
(Was in the last hour of 8+ hours of the battle of Waterloo, I suppose Wellington wasn't at his socially charming empathetic best).

To wear out your brain trying to make things into one without realizing that they are all the same GÇô this is called GÇ£three in the morning.GÇ¥ What do I mean by GÇ£three in the morningGÇ¥?
When the monkey trainer was handing out acorns, he said, GÇ£You get three in the morning and four at night.GÇ¥ This made all the monkeys furious. GÇ£Well, then,GÇ¥ he said, GÇ£you get four in the morning and three at night.GÇ¥ The monkeys were all delighted.
There was no change in the reality behind the words, and yet the monkeys responded with joy and anger. Let them, if they want to. So the sage harmonizes with both right and wrong and rests in Heaven the Equalizer. This is called walking two roads.

Electrocuting game fish is not only illegal, it's also morally wrong. Not quite as wrong as some of the other methods (e.g. using chlorine bleach or dynamite), but still wrong.

That's some wisdom right there. A tale, about my Japanese wife's samurai ancestor who started on a solo "sword quest":
-He left Edo (old Tokyo). He encountered a person, which was actually a fox (kitsune) which had assumed human form. He detected that it was a tricky and dangerous kitsune. So, he lifted a big stone over his head to show his strength, and smacktalked the kitsune about it. So the kitsune lifted a bigger stone over its head, and smacktalked about it. So our sword quest warrior lifted an even bigger one, threw it down, and smackswaggered around. And so, the kitsune hefted a huge rock over its head... which it couldn't handle, and pinned it to the ground, and suffocated it.
-Continuing on his quest, our hero reached a farming village. There he met a beautiful girl. She was so beautiful, lovely and enchanting that he married her. And settled down in the village and became a farmer or something. And so ended our hero's solo sword quest.
-(Well I guess the happy ending is that he and his beautiful, lovely and enchanting bride produced kids that became me wife's ancestors. But nobody in the family every talks about that. The story always ends with, "He reached the first village, met a girl and-- THE END. Ha ha ha!")
