"A person who has a cat by the tail knows a whole lot more about cats than someone who has just read about them."
Mark Twain
"There are two novels that can change a bookish 14-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."
"The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they've found it."

As a former teacher, I can tell you that this one is, sadly, true. Not a *good* difference, in far too many cases… like the poor little guy whose momma was a member of the local drug warlord’s family and who spent his afternoons running the streets for the drug warlord. He knew his division left and right tho… from dividing up the take at the end of the day (because nobody trusted anybody but a ten year old kid was deemed uncorrupted).
“Parents make a difference.” All true. But what about cat owners? Do they make a difference? Over the years I’ve had my doubts.
I’ve had my doubts about that too, BT, dealing with the parents of college freshmen who don’t understand their children’s grades. The effect can be good or bad, but they make a difference.
Cats owners who don’t get their pets fixed need an attitude adjustment, John. I wish there was a birth control pill for cats that I could add to my feeding stations.
Ahhhh, yes, more state-sponsored special dispensations for the breeders. And the anti-abortion nazis. Wunnerful.
How about we “educate” these motherfuckers HOW TO STOP BREEDING?!?!??!? Where’s the DOTD on that issue?
The arrogance of specialty license plates — you can’t get a “Pro-CHOICE” license plate in Florida OR Louisiana, but “Choose Life” is MANDATORY. Yeah, that’s fair.
And SO a “first priority” — where are these arrogant bible-banging motherfuckers when it’s time to actually HELP anybody? Sitting in their air-conditioned SUVs, smirking at the poor motherfuckers who are bringing down their property values.
Show me a STOP BREEDING license plate, THAT, I can get behind.
And if it weren’t for selfish, lazy assholes who keep throwing pet cats out onto the street when they become pregnant or otherwise “inconvenient,” there wouldn’t be nearly as many ferals to have to feed/neuter, would there.
The problem is that they won’t allow people to buy the KKK plate they really want, so they talk around the issue. For some reason the link to some plates changes. It’s strange, maybe it will stop after I update to the latest version of WordPress.
The official line is that being pro-Choice is political and banned, but Choose Life endorses adoption and is apolitical. Pretty pathetic as a justification, but when the sea rises it won’t be a problem.
