Or it shows that I'm really just a mushball.<br /><br />Baby Sister - Yes, and I also think about what the person has gone through in life, to make them like that.<br /><br />Brenda - I wish more people felt that way.<br /><br />Rita - I remember the photo of her sitting by your screen door! Good luck to them!<br /><br />TVA - I'm right there with you! It really bothers me...<br /><br />OWT - It's an illness, that's for sure. We need to concentrate on that more, and on war and getting rich less.<br /><br />pitchertaker - I checked out the link. Very bittersweet! Sad but then happy... Thanks!<br /><br />John - Oh yeah! They know how to pull the heartstrings (and wallet strings). Thanks John!<br /><br />Anthony - I agree with you.<br /><br />Betty - I'm sure it will never stop, but when the laws change, it will at least slow down.<br /><br />Jerry - I glad most people feel that way! thanks...<br /><br />Owen - I won't get into my opinions on crime vs. punishment, but I'm not very forgiving in that area. Thanks!<br /><br />Francisca - I think we are talking about both, but I was mostly just venting some anger about the subject. <br /><br />I'm not so sure that most Americans would agree that we all think this way. Half of those in prison here, are there because of antiquated drug laws that need to be changed. However, in my humble opinion, some crimes warrant the ultimate punishment. Right or wrong, that's how I feel. (can't speak for anyone else though).<br /><br />As to our political system... You are so right! That is the thing about this country that scares me the most. It's a mess!<br /><br />Believe me, my family does more than most about the subject (abuse) at hand. My wife is VERY much involved with it. I on the other hand, am not as involved as she is. I'd prefer to solve the problem in a much more medieval fashion. <br />This soapbox is always available for you!

Any fe...Oh, Pat... it's obviously not just you. Any feeling human being has compassion for a mistreated animal, and there are billions, including those being inhumanely raised and slaughtered in mass for our dining pleasure. <br /><br />But honestly, Pat, the direction of this conversation disturbs me. Are we talking about anger and its management or about finding solutions to the animal mistreatment problem? <br /><br />Anger is a signal that something is wrong; it's NOT an excuse to commit violence against another for ANY reason. The most absurd example is those who think murder is justified to stop abortion. Sinking down to the lowest common level and certainly vigilante behaviors are not mature/wise answers. <br /><br />Where in this (or any) discussion is prevention? Why is the first thought about retribution? <br /><br />Forgive me for saying so, my friend, but you live in a strange land. You (Americans)are culturally geared to prefer spending $60K per prisoner per year on the largest per capita prison population in the world than to spend $10K per child to make sure s/he doesn't land there. Pay for punishment is okay, that's the price for individual freedom (and responsibility) you say; pay for education and support for the poor, naaah, that is socialism. And in the meantime, the big rich boys pay nothing in taxes and aren't even held accountable for flushing the rest of your country down the toilet. Sheesh! <br /><br />So back to animal rights, it's better to divert your anger into workable programs for prevention and solutions, not into some medieval "eye for eye" behavior. Off my soapbox now. :-)Franciscahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10733111654769386624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342874076830001076.post-74580283953959453192011-04-02T17:03:02.712-07:002011-04-02T17:03:02.712-07:00Definitely not just you.
