    I say if attacked by a bear.. run for a place where there are rocks.. and get your arm ready to throw some.. if you place baseball all the better. Except you might end up pissing it off even more.. but at least it is worth a try.
    For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

        The thing chased me like a 1/4 of a mile down a path, until I entered a 7/11 convenience store.


        People sometimes makes the mistake of fleeing a bear to tree.. not realizing they climb trees like ballerinas.
        Black bears climb, brown bears don't.

        One of these days they will learn to savor the taste of blood, and Notre Dame will be no more... (Go, squirrels, go!!!!!!!!!)
        Its only a matter of time my friend.

          Boshko, that's what they want you to think... brown bears are clever.

            If bear attacks, it's faster and stronger, so you might just attack it too. Go for the eyes son!
            I didn't know ballerina's were not for their tree-climbing abilities.

            ACK!
            Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

              Tuberski, yes.. that's what the ballerinas wants us to believe.. in reality, they are perfect for climbing trees. I have even seen their secret training camps. The whole dancing thing is just to distract us.

                Then why don't we just run into convenient stores like I do?

                  Fez, Because that's exactly what they want us to do. Do you really thing, that it's just a coincidence that you find yourself in a store after chase? You took the red pill, right?

                  Remember: First step to communism is compromising!

                    Pekka: Well communism.. bah! I ran to a convenient store because it was the closest form of capitalism I could find...

                    Whatever... like I would think about politics, when I have a squirrel which could possibly have rabies chasing after me. LOL...

                      Big deal! I once was chased up a tree by a large black bear. The damn thing climbed up after me too. The very top branch of the tree was tickling my nose, and I could count the freckles on his nostrils. Now that's somthing to be frightened of. But a squirell?

                          Whoa... I guess I can't compare.

                          You live in Canada right?

                          If going to a store, I'd be supporting capitalism.

                            Yes. I was hiking in the backwoods near Banff and had set up a camp for the evening when this bear came along and helped himself to my food. I moved off a short way, and after he had his fill, he started coming towards me. I figured if I made like a bear cub and climbed the tree beside me, he might leave me alone.

                            Wrong! He followed up behind me, but after yelling for help and trying to kick him in the snout he finaly decided to leave me alone. In retrospect, I don't think he meant me any harm, I think he was just having fun by playing "Let's scare the tourist." He played the game very, very well.

                              Very, very, very, very close call indeed.

                              He probably played that game enough... because if you were abled to see his snout, he was just teasing you. If he was serious about eating you, you wouldn't be posting today.

                                Fez let me get something clear. Did you run from, well how to say it, a squirell? Squrells are like Chip and Dale, aren't they? Mostly very sharp teeth and claws.
                                If it has rocket launcher I would see it as clear defense. Just be sure that PETA wont see result of your defense.
