Claire, yes I understand and was telling some of my co-volunteers about the dog you spoke about. We all shed tears for that poor animal. I have decided not to argue about politics as there is never any clear or concise answer. Ou Government stinks in alot of ways just as all other Governments do but we are afterall a FREE nation and we did not become free and we do not stay free by turning the other cheek. Can you just imagine what it would be like for those who did? I can only pray (ALOT) for our country and the wisdom we all hope our leaders govern with. I can only make a small dent in the injustice in this world and I choose to fight for the defenseless, the animals. Thats more than I can handle most of the time. Thanks for the frisky back and forth conversation. May God Bless America and all other peace loving nations!
