I'm sooooo confused. Are you giving me permission to kill my American Indian spider loving annoying neighbor? What if I love my American Indian neighbor? Should I warn him that he's like a spider and he'll be squashed? Or are American Indians like old spiders and have nothing to worry about, I can only squash 'new' spiders. You seemed pretty adamant that I kill spiders. What if I recognize the value of spiders and don't want to kill them. Do I sacrifice a neighbor? I suppose that counts. What if my neighbor isn't American Indian? Do I have to sacrifice two neighbors? If I prefer a teepee over a tent, does that mean I now have to sacrifice three neighbors or just one neighbor and two spiders, or two neighbors and one spider?
I'm dealing with some serious decisions here. Do you have a hotline I can call?
