I don't think that was the point. Shooting is not just to destroy someone. It's also a test of skill (target shooting is an Olympic event!) Discipline, and the ability to not shake as one does "the deed." Photography can be violent, damaging, hurtful too. It's how one uses it. The power of the pen is 1000 times stronger in a camera. :-) ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch The young child is looking in the world to find himself - reflected in a mirror with a thousand faces. - -Maria Montessori
