Is that true, Never? I'm thinking an ass-kicking without permanent damage is a just and righteous response to vandals. If folks thought misbehavior brought thecertainty of an ass-kicking maybe there would be more respect for property. That's another jury I should be on!
I lived in Cody when I worked in oil exploration back in the 1970's. Mostly worked the Oregon Basin and overthrust areas. Beautiful, wonderful country. Nice folks, too. One winter I met a Basque shepherd, hired to work the lonely season with his dogs and horses. I gave him a Hershey and some gorp. He didn't even speak Spanish!
