Occasionally I hear complaints about the interplay of our social structures in dog shows, and no rules are broken, just assumptions of evil in the eye of the beholder. That is the other side of the dilemma of fairness in our sport. In any culture, we can stop all evil. Yes, I believe that we can. It happens by erecting a barrier of law and rule to prohibit any possible problem and then employing enough enforcement personnel to see that they are enforced. But in a free society we choose to not have that degree of confinement and scrutiny, which tips the pendulum in the other direction, giving room for the evils of human creativeness. I personally like rules and if they exist, they should be fairly enforced, but I like them to be on the parameter of a large lot, giving room for freedom inside. That is the chief criticism of our enemies with America, we have lots of crime and debauchery in our streets.... But I think I will stay to enjoy the residual effect that comes with it - Freedom!
