A brief political moment. The AR movement reminds me of the Religious Right. sheila Steve Reierstad <wmj1944@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: "The S/N thing just seems like a violent response to public anxiety about dogs." This isn't about anxiety, dogs, or the Public. It's about Control. Power and Control. Make no mistake about it. It's about a well-organised, well-funded (by ignorant but well-meaning people) minority's effort to inflict their beliefs and lifestyle on the rest of us, especially pet-owners. It's about bringing more government intrusion into your life, about violating your basic rights to own and use YOUR property, and violation of the Due Process Clause of our Constitution. If you can't or won't believe that, look at what has happened in Albuquerque, Denver, and Louisville, and what is about to happen in California. 230 years ago, our forefathers (some of my direct ancestors among them) rose up and fought against similar tyranny being inflicted by a British King (who many historians believe was very probably insane). We may just have to do it again, if things keep going the way they are. Steve Steve Visit Two Feathers German Shepherds online at http://www.wmj1944.com Website updated 11/28/2006.
