And the Darwin Award goes to MTL Resident Becky McDermott UPDATED

Darwin Awards is a tongue-in-cheek award given to someone who did something really stupid and ultimately died. Wikipedia says:
"The criterion for the awards states, "In the spirit of Charles Darwin, the Darwin Awards commemorate individuals who protect our gene pool by making the ultimate sacrifice of their own lives. Darwin Award winners eliminate themselves in an extraordinarily idiotic manner, thereby improving our species' chances of long-term survival."[2]
If there was a Darwin Award (with no one dying from stupidity) given for Letters to the Editor, it should be presented to Becky McDermott, who wrote this piece, Deer Don't Pay Property Taxes. Kids don't pay taxes. Dogs and cats don't pay taxes. Should we kill them too? I pay taxes, so do I get a say, Becky? I know you don't like those of us who want to "coexist."

This is the only time where I wish this blog was public so that the deer haters could read how ridiculous they appear.
