Evan, That is a very good point. I was at work a couple weeks ago and had to search a vehicle that was there. The vehicle belonged to the California Department of Forestry (it is a nuclear power plant thing). There were so many things in the back end of his explorer that I could not look in it. I had him empty it out so I could search them. He said that he had been in that area a few times in the last few weeks and never had to do that before. I told him what you just said. I can not be held responsible for what others do or do not do. I am only responsible for myself.

While we have a free country, we can only stop our own behavior. Others will always act as they want, and frankly, they have a right to do so. If others want to show bad dogs, dye dogs, fix tails, and win under crooked judges, you can't stop them. You can only control your own actions and make sure they prevail. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
