Hi Lew, Amen to that, but how do we fix all the problems. The standard is being worked on and hope to most peoples satisfaction. Paws is, I hope being rejected by all with good sense. Hope its not a loosing battle and we need to keep trying. What is the fix for the gas problem and how do we the people get this country to use our own resources. Also you forgot about the airlines. U S Air, no more shipping dogs as access baggage or cargo. Other airlines will probably follow. Very very depressing.
