Don't worry about us. I was on a list for "mid-atlantic show dogs," until tonite. I never laughed so hard in all my life.........someone had sent that list of stores that are closing to the list...and one girl made some kind of statement about how people who lived "on the fringe of their income" deserved to have these stores close... (and no, I don't get the connection, so don't ask)... anyway, I said I thought it was a mean thing to say...many of us are living on fixed incomes, but our expenses don't stay fixed...so saying we are living on the fringe of our incomes is kinda mean. OK, another person (one who sells rosary beads, or at least that's what her 13 line signature says) told the first girl not to comment again because the list was full of SOCIALISTS!!!! the first girl, who just must be a moron, sent me a private note and said she couldn't take part in the conversation any longer, as she refused to talk to socialists!!! to top it all off, this is what one girl then sent...and this is the one that really cracked me up... she addressed this (on the list) to the girl who'd made the first comment about socialists...... " I have really held back on your comments in the last few weeks, but for God's sake. Socialists? We are dog lovers and people interested in showing dogs. I generally skip over your posts because you are an idiot with an affective behavior disorder that may or may not be related to a closed head injury. Another pathetic attempt on your part to get people to pay attention to you." when I finished laughing I quit the list........I know enough insane people that I don't need to be on an email list with them, socialists or not.
