But the truth is more accurately represented by "People allowed these asshats to be elected." <br /><br />By and large, the relatively moderate majority have stopped paying attention to the record and character of the people they vote for, or they simply do not bother to vote.<br /><br />And these fine examples of reason and justice and common sense are what you get people, time to pay some attention or live with these as your decision makers.<br /><br />Another peachy example. Lake County California, <br />MSN and please just shoot he rest so we don't have to deal with them OK?<br /><br />http://lakeconews.com/content/view/9257/764/<br /><br />JenniferJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810033429461791744.post-68841859715061197552009-07-27T13:24:26.121-04:002009-07-27T13:24:26.121-04:00The solution is simple.

Of course, we'd have only a few hairless Chinese crested dogs about.<br /><br />That's my modest proposal.<br /><br />Paranoia about pit bulls is an illness. It really is.<br /><br />Now being concerned with man-eating dogs regardless of breed, that's a useful place to start. <br /><br />We all know that the breed that this member of the city council owns is the most popular breed in America. It's somewhat overbred, though not as much as the golden retrievers are. Some of these dogs are so aggressive that they could eat a metal bucket.<br /><br />But nobody will even propose a breed ban on any breed of retriever. It doesn't matter how many of them bite. They are seen in our public perceptions as nice dogs that don't bite people. If such a ban were proposed, someone would say, "Well, most of them aren't like that at all."<br /><br />Well, I could say the same about pit bulls.<br /><br />And that tells you why breed bans are stupid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810033429461791744.post-59917701360946963042009-07-26T20:14:39.626-04:002009-07-26T20:14:39.626-04:00Don't you understand?

This is why I'm such a favorite at local public meetings! ;-P<br /><br />It is sad, sad, sad thing that I am an expert in these matters.<br /><br />DoreneRocambolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04723765275954949223noreply@blogger.com
