So it's a different Taylor Mitchell comedy spoof on the dangers of mobile phones. Just on the back of a report highlighting the 4 cancers they cause. I'll hunt it down.

Health study links mobile phone use to four kinds of cancer

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2009/10/25/new-cancer-link-to-mobiles-115875-21771409/

"A major international health study has shown that excessive mobile phone use can be linked to four different kinds of cancer.

The research, which has taken 10 years and cost £20million, found that heavy mobile users suffered up to 50 per cent more tumours.

Scientists now say there is a "significantly increased risk" of people developing three different kinds of brain tumour and one of the salivary gland. News of the findings, which are to be published within the next eight weeks, has led to calls for mobiles to carry health warnings."

No regrets Coyote
We just come from such different sets of circumstance
I'm up all night in the studios
And you're up early on your ranch
You'll be brushing out a brood mare's tail
While the sun is ascending
And I'll just be getting home with my reel to reel...
There's no comprehending
Just how close to the bone and the skin and the eyes
And the lips you can get
And still feel so alone
And still feel related
Like stations in some relay
You're not a hit and run driver, no, no
Racing away
You just picked up a hitcher
A prisoner of the white lines on the freeway

We saw a farmhouse burning down
In the middle of nowhere
In the middle of the night
And we rolled right past that tragedy
Till we turned into some road house lights
Where a local band was playing
Locals were up kicking and shaking on the floor
And the next thing I know
That Coyote's at my door
He pins me in a corner and he won't take "No!"
He drags me out on the dance floor
And we're dancing close and slow
Now he's got a woman at home
He's got another woman down the hall
He seems to want me anyway
Why'd you have to get so drunk
And lead me on that way
You just picked up a hitcher
A prisoner of the white lines of the freeway

I looked a Coyote right in the face
On the road to Baljennie near my old home town
He went running thru the whisker wheat
Chasing some prize down
And a hawk was playing with him
Coyote was jumping straight up and making passes
He had those same eyes - just like yours
Under your dark glasses
Privately probing the public rooms
And peeking thru keyholes in numbered doors
Where the players lick their wounds
And take their temporary lovers
And their pills and powders to get them thru this passion play

No regrets, Coyote
I just get off up aways
You just picked up a hitcher
A prisoner of the white lines on the freeway

Coyote's in the coffee shop
He's staring a hole in his scrambled eggs
He picks up my scent on his fingers
While he's watching the waitresses' legs
He's too fat from the Bay of Fundy
From Appaloosas and Eagles and tides
And the air conditioned cubicles
And the carbon ribbon rides
Are spelling it out so clear
Either he's going to have to stand and fight
Or take off out of here
I tried to run away myself
To run away and wrestle with my ego
And with this flame
You put here in this Eskimo
In this hitcher
In this prisoner
Of the fine white lines
Of the white lines on the free, free way

[transcendental stallion]

Coyotes don't kill people. They prey uponjacrrabbit largely. They don't even target deer I think.

Interesting parallel.

This is extremely rare. If coyotes did attack her and cause these kinds of wounds, they must have sensed a threat.

Coyote.....or Dogman?!!!!!! :eek:

(key clap of thunder and sinister music)

Fishy. Very fishy.

[zetetic0void]

The point is that here in Nova Scotia , coyotes and wolves are interbreeding creating a hybrid wolf-coyote.... this is more powerful than a typical coyote
---------

http://www.cbc.ca/arts/story/2009/10/29/ns-mitchell-mother.html


The mother of Taylor Mitchell, a young folk singer who was killed by coyotes in Nova Scotia, says her daughter was a passionate environmentalist who would have opposed the killing of the two animals responsible for the attack.

When the decision had been made to kill the pack of coyotes, I clearly heard Taylor's voice say, 'Please don't, this is their space,"' Mitchell said.


Parks Canada conservation specialists have shot and killed one coyote, but said they were not sure if it was one of the animals involved in the attack.

-----------

Once again... human extremist ideology prevails ... apparently coyotes have been killed by government park officials when they weren't even sure if those were the coyotes involved in the attack. If this was a human killing, this would be similar to going into the street and shooting any so-called suspicious human without knowing if they were the killers.... but of course since these are "merely animals" (a misguided interpretation of Reality in my opinion) , we can bypass all judgment of authentic reasoning and logic!!! :mad:


From this girl's own ideas, she would have rejected this extremist outcome.


It is sad that she was killed..... and it is sad that humans overreact and kill coyotes with no clue if those are the animals involved.

---------

I feel sad that she met this end but I also admit I may be assuming things about the nature of such an end from within a normal human experience of Reality.


At a far grander scale of Reality, we often do not understand the interaction of seemingly horrible and productive events (often Christians may say this as "God acts in mysterious ways" ... or another example of a Muslim mother of a child killed in Iraq saying basically a similar thing as "It is the will of God". I personally might label such things as "this is natural occurance of Reality ... it is up to us to get meaning out of the experience").

As a result of this, her music has been listened to by a huge number of people and from the view of a far larger point of view, the listening to her music may in fact result in many people being influenced in a positive way!

It does seem quite sad ... maybe specifically because this happened within my little section of this world and she was flown into my city at her last moments and maybe because she was just starting out and after listening to some songs, she had some unique things to say.

----------------


To suggest an idea of a far wider understandfing of such occurances, it may just be that to be killed by wild animals creates a total 'freedom' from one's own ego and an instantaneous activation of a "cosmic consciousness".


-----------

I thought I had read that at one time there was a belief in India that to be killed by a tiger in the wild was a blessed event! I can't find search results to confirm this. Perhaps this was the idea that a communion with raw nature could lead to ultimate nirvana. I do not mean to demean the occurance.... but point out that our typical reaction to death may not be a complete and full picture.

-----------

For some reason, after investigating such things and hearing extreme stress can initiate the activation of the pineal gland, an actual event such as this may in fact result in a complete freedom from the ego and realization of complete integration within Ultimate Reality.


Even so, this feels quite sad from a human perspective.

Ultimately none of us knows when it is our time to end this current manifestation. Perhaps there is a wider understanding of concerning when such things happen that we humans usually fear and do not understand.

Fishy. Very fishy.

are you being serious?

what is very fishy about this article?

[darketernal]

Coyotes don't kill people. They prey uponjacrrabbit largely. They don't even target deer I think.

Not true. Some of my family are ranchers and I've seen more than a couple calves drug down by them. They are more than capable and willing to drag down large prey.

[graflok]

are you being serious?

Terribly and immensely serious.


what is very fishy about this article?

The odor mostly. Flounder, I think.

[windeyaho]

I hike and I've come up on coyotes in the daytime. I always carry a large hiking staff usually a metal tipped hayrake handle. If coyotes are out in the daytime they are either hungry or sick. If you are an early riser and you hike around water sources, you might encounter them on their way back from drinking as they go back to their dens - that is normal. Raising the hiking staff over my head made me look big and menacing and they would take off running across the hill for home.

If I had a cut and was bleeding or having my period, I could have been in a bit of trouble. . . that's why I also carry a bowie knife. The smell of blood will draw any predatory animal to you. . so will the smell of food. You learn to be extra careful with your wounds, your personal habits and your food if you want to survive- even if you are only a mile from home.

I would have carried a rifle but when you're climbing up hills, it gets in the way. . .I had a quiver for my staff if I needed to keep my hands free and if I dropped the staff I didnt have to worry about it "going off"...lol

[eclecticspirit]

Honestly, I'm so not buying the coyotes explanation. Read this:

http://tchester.org/sgm/lists/coyote_attacks.html

Considering the area it was in, I think it was something else. Something the forestry people don't want the public to know about.
