You know, it’s not that I really care about this stupid story at all, but it seems like if anyone knew what was safe to do around a crocodile, it would be Steve Irwin.
This sort of thing has the feel of religious fervor, like what Steve Irwin really did wrong was to use an object of worship in a frivolous manner. It’s been said before that our society worships children, and I believe it, and so the fact that a child was used in this manner is a matter of religious offense. But there’s not this much outcry from the media over the babies slaughtered by abortion every day.
