Same here.  I do not begrudge anyone their thrills, but I confess to not 
getting it in even the slightest.  I've killed a bunch of varmints and 
have taken no pleasure in any of it, though the sense of relief and the 
knowledge that I had done what was needed was strong enough to keep me 
on a good equilibrium, which is important for idiots like myself who 
will auto-guilt themselves to death otherwise.
