I don't, but this is an odd question for you to ask, since that "99% of the tape is unrevealing" would be what you would want to believe, not me.
The bottom line is that we simply do not know what's on the rest of the tape and while I have no evidence I don't believe that Herzog is above manipulating his material to produce an effect consistent with his worldview. Let me repeat again: "Who he was certainly includes his rants and I didn't deny that he was unstable, yet what I don't know is if this happened early on or what the situation was that caused this immature outburst. In an interview with a park ranger, he said that he had some differences with Treadwell at the beginning but it was patched up and they had a good relationship. " I am simply raising a question here as to whether the rant reflects a moment in time or his true personality. I just don't know. Do you?
Though you express annoyance at my repetition, I still do not think that you have replied to my statement:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
that "open and honest communication with wild animals" is a virtually meaningless statement, based on a delusion, whose implications, if acted upon, are potentially lethal.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't know what to say except to repeat myself. Where was the delusion? Did he not live in peace and harmony with the bears for 13 summers? Were any bears killed by poachers during that time? Did any harm come to the bears he lived with for 13 summers? The implications of my thoughts right now are potentially lethal. That does not make me a killer.
