Dodging Bullets

Is there a real danger in eating meat from game that was killed with lead ammunition? And is there a real threat to species that scavenge on the carcasses of big game that were killed with lead bullets?

Depending on who you ask, the answers to those questions will vary greatly.

In this episode, we speak with Jim Heffelfinger, to help separate fact, fiction, and fairy tales, about the dangers of using lead-based bullets for big game hunting.

Jim helps us realize that the conversation on lead-based bullets is much broader than hunters realize and that there are both real dangers, as well as unfounded fears on this topic.

A disclaimer that shouldn't be necessary: None of the information presented today is medical advice. And this conversation has not presented all aspects of this topic. Please do careful research for yourself and make your own conclusions.

BULLETS IN MY BED

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 114

Are we ruled by elites? Must we be? Should we be? These are the key questions addressed by a school of thought that's sometimes called "elite theory," or, when answering in the affirmative to the question of whether elites should rule us, "elitism." It's a thoroughly unAmerican idea that is a sure threat to liberty. But what is it, how does it think, where does it come from, and isn't that what Lenin was doing with his Bolshevik Vanguard in the first place? In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay dives into the various faces of elite theory and elitism and gives a trenchant warning against a rising tide of elitist thought, not just on the Left but also on the Right. Join him to better understand the elitist idea that, when your guys do it, it's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy.

Hi, if you're reading this! I've been making music for a long time, but for some reason - I have to work alone. Listen, share your impressions, I hope you like it))) Feedback is very important to me, because it helps me understand which direction to move in. Without a listener, you know, it's hard) The fact that I, like a raccoon, can work in almost any genre, because I'm "omnivorous"! ***Important!!! I would like to separately ask all the cunning and mean - do not try to cheat me out of money. You will lose your time. Yours and mine. There will be no money, no matter how sophisticated you are in your fantasies.***
