Although this was published four years ago, due to continued request, demands, and needs a renewed and revised schedule is included. The changes are due to the lack of interest in many of the past problems, and is not a reflection of the change in society, the financial problems of the world or the election of the first editor of the Harvard Law Review as President of the United States. It was in all the papers in case you missed it. 1. After the national to November 23, we are to complain about the problems at that aforesaid national, and to remind everyone how terrible it was. This may, but does not need to include, the hotels, the food, the grounds, the judging, the air, the environment, travel requirements, the service in the arena, or any and all other problems. 2. November 24, through December 20, is reserved to say how great all of the events at the National were, how great the judging was, how we enjoyed the travel, and the service we received. Included in this may be compliments on how hard our board worked at the show, but it is not required. 3. There shall be a general break for Christmas, which may be ignored by Jews Muslims, and any other sects which do not feel the need for the break, and during that time, the posts may include any and all references to any of the other issues, but shall not include mention of German vs. American lines. That is reserved for the new year. 4. From December 26, through January 30, we will be talking about how great the board is, how terrible the next location will be for our National, discussing the need for sod, and the refusal of our board to respond to the members. This is only for initial discussions, and the real complaint are to come out in late March or early April. See number 7, below. 5. The real discussion of American vs. German shall begin in January, (see above), but move into strong areas of disagreement from January 31, through March 10. This is to allow plenty of time for all the different reasons, both structure, judging shows, and venues. Heads should be included, but not tails. There is no limit to the subjects, and may even include references to World War II, but only by those who served. 6. March 11, and the following weeks, through and including May 1, (May Day) is to be used to complain about each other. This includes the wrong thinking breeders, our friends who we need to get back at for doing more winning than we did. We may, in this time also complain about opinions given by others, and how dumb everyone but we are. Or, in my case, how smart I am. 7. After May Day, from May 2, 2008 we have to start to discuss how terrible the next location for the National will be, and how it will be impossible for us to get there. See number 4 above, but now it should be very nasty, and angry. We can if need be, include the board in these complaints and try to name names and put the blame on those responsible. You may not use Dave Fritsche, he writes too well to challenge. If you can, try to tie it to Flower Boy, it is always a good idea to blame him. This should continue up to and including July 3, when all the fireworks are then to be set off to celebrate the great bitching we have done 8. We get to take the 4th of July off, but still can post. This is a freedom day, so we can complain about anything we want, and save the “big guns†for the next five weeks. 9. From July 5th and through August 24th, we have to find fault in the board. If we can’t complain about the board, (and this year it is going to be hard), we then can add in the voting procedure, ie. one vote per person, the Canadian votes, and also the need to get new people to judge our national, no matter if they are qualified or not. Just new faces will help the future of our breed. See number 10. 10. We now come to the central core of our duties, complaints about judges, fault judging, the decline of our breed, the loss of civility in the sport, the decline in interest, the wasting of youth on the young, the loss of quality in our dogs, and the general future or lack of it, in this sport. If desired, you may include dying and trimming of dogs, surgery to improve temperament, and drugs, for whatever purpose. While this only may begin on August 24, it has been extended this year because of the initial complaints already started about feminine heads on our males, and masculine heads on our bitches. This will continue through October 10th and is blocked only to make time for new complaints about the upcoming national, (see number 4 above). Although previously time was set aside for the new national complaints, now we can talk about all we have learned about the location, and how terrible it is going to be, and how no one will ever attend again. This should include the locations, the judging and may also include the weather, the air, and the lack of restaurants. 11. After October 11, we shall have a “free time†to complain about White German shepherds and how it will destroy the breed, the sport, America, the way of life in the world, the economy, (it may be too late), the birth rate in third world countries, and the hope of all mankind. Time is also reserved here for White Castles, and White Knights, not to be confused with Don Knights. 12. That should bring us back to the National, and begin the year anew. Remember, it is a difficult situation but we all depend on you to complain, accuse, admonish, animadvert, asperse, assail, be critical, be dissatisfied, berate, blame, carp, cast aspersions, castigate, cavil, censure, chastise, chide, condemn, contravene, decry, defy, denounce, deprecate, differ, disagree, disapprove, disparage, fault-find, find fault, find fault with, malign, object, object to, oppose, protest, rebuke, remonstrate, repine, reprehend, reprimand, reproach, reprove, speak ill of, take exception, take exception to, and last but not least, upbraid. These are in alphabetical order, so if there are any you do not know, ask Jane Kerner, and she will have the answers. She is, after all, a Strict Constitutional Constructionist, and a tribute to her race. It is a real challenge, but if we all work together, we can do it. We are German shepherd people hear us roar. Don’t let us down. We are depending on you. Evan Ginsburg Asgard German Shepherds http://www.asgardgsd.com/ Where Type Movement and Temperament come together **************One site has it all.
