    I'm not saying cats can't have rabies, but it's pretty clear that rabiesity is more common in dogs - or at least more noticeable.

    Of course my prejudice about dogs has been coloured by my experiences. We have had two dogs, and both were stupid as boots. On the other hand, our cats (many cats) are very nice, never claw or bite anyone, and I suspect, as any cat owner does, that I'm being used as a giant Pez-dispenser á la Felix.

    I don't know much about rats, don't see them. Most of the rodents we see on our porch are mise. Oh, and there was a snake-skin there today.

    BUT PIGS. Oh lord, pigs. Pigs are BIG (NO, you DON'T know how huge they are), they are smelly, they are intelligent, and their recent ancestors could gore through you like curry through Grannie. And I don't know about you, but if I were a pig, and I had a chance to gore a human or two, I'd take it. I'd take my pig companions and start a rebellion, and I would sterilise my warders, keep them in pens, and clip the teeth of their young with clippers.

    aw cute kitty is foming at the mouth
    Anyway, Bush is by far one of the worst presidents this country has seen since... he is just flat out the worst. The one thing i can't stand is people who blame all the problems on Clinton. Clinton is the one who nearly halfed the national debt after Ragon tripled it into the trillions and bush is just makeing that worse. With the debt increasing, intrest rates go up and i don't mean the intrest you earn in savings acounts i mean like loans on cars and houses and insurance payments. Thus the economy pitfalls. The tax cuts bush made won't help a damn thing. It may have sounded like a big number but the average working class family got less then $2. How much did the average CEO get? anywhere from $2-$5 million. (don't you love calculators.) As for the wars I will support the war in afgahnistan till the day i die but i can not condone any action that was taken in Iraq. Sure it is great that Suddam is gone but what did he do to us. People retort by saying he tortured his own people. I say to that "pick any third world country". So since we aren't policing the world the next reason that tends to be brought up is weapons, which we have found so many of (I wish there was a way to type my sarcasim into my last statement.) Next (if the person hasn't already given up and started screaming communist) they say he was connected to al-quaeda. I read the report and all the evidence that was presented. The Iraq intelligence had contacted Osoma in the early 90's (before al-quaeda was a terrorist group) trying to get him to goin in an effort with several arab countries to tople the rulling family in Sudan. Osoma never replied. All connections ended there and then. So now we have no reason for the war wich isn't helping gas prices and is only making them worse. Most people dont realize how many oil companyies there are in the US. there are about 5 all the gas stations are either supplied by or subsidiaries of these companies. that is why speedway and marathon always have the same pirce for gas. Now that these conglomerats have exclusive right to the oil in iraq since bush has refused other countries to help in the recunstruction, they have monopolized the resource. they can charge whatever they damn well please. There was an article in the newyork times that quoted Suddam's prosicuters saying they are having troulbe gathering evidence against suddam. The reason is he didn't do any war crimes during the last war. He treated all his prisoners within the goneva convetion while the US has litterally tortured prisoners to death. Not only did we falsify evidence to justify our war, but we never made a declaration of war. People said that Japan did it to us in WWII; however, they did have a declaration of war but due to an incription bug, the declaration arrived a few hours too late. After Peral Harbor the Japanese embassidor to the US nearly committed suiciced for this mistake. That is how important this sort of thing was to people. Bush doen't even think twice. He also said in several speaches that God told him to stike down osama and suddam. Coincidentaly Hitler said that god told him to strike down the jewish race. If anyone would bother listening to kerry they should be able to tell the difference from flip flopping on a stance and not having a stance. And even when he changes his stance on an issue, it doesn't bother me. The worst thing you can do is stubbernly stay by an opinion in light of new information. Sure kerry isn't the best candidate but why would the Democratic party put there best guy on the ballot if they can win with kerry. Politics is a game and never had anything to do with the people. The country has fallen into a state of oligarchy and will only get worse.

    Speaking of people and ideologies as animals, has anyone else here ever read Maus?

    Take care all.

    Ooh, I remember reading Mauschwitz. That was 4-5 years ago, so I don't remember much of it, but it did a good job of catching the essence of the Holocaust (Jews <=> Mice && Nazis <=> Cats, if I remember correctly).

    Also, the Slovaks were Pigs, and the Americans were Dogs. Strangely, to me, it says a lot about one's culture. Not sure if I agree with the assessment, but it makes one think as to why these animals were chosen for each group of people.

    Take care all.

    I read that book. My friend let me borrow it about a month or two ago. Pretty interesting insight on the Halocaust.

    Just to point out to the people that argue that Iraq did not have WMDs are not exactly correct. It is a historical fact that Saddam Hussin was given Anthrax and other chemical and biological agents by none other than the US of A. Whoops.

    He may not have had nuclear weapons, but there is no doubt that Iraq possessed WMDs.

I believe that he has been consistent, and he has been direct. I don't like Kerry as a man or a politician, so I do not want to see him elected. I really don't know what will happen with Bush if he is elected. So I just...don't know.

    Now now, Pres. Buch II may have borrowed all that money from important government programs, but on the bright side, he did give it all to his friends, those rich types who own companies like, oh, Enron and Haliburton. Now that their schemes are starting to come to light, it makes sense that they need More Money . Who better to give it to them than the US Government?

    Where did he even imply in that post that he was voting for Bush? If you're going to post ineffective rhetoric against the current president (who I agree deserves to be ousted from the office, but not because he used cocaine, dodged the draft, or relaxed immigration laws) you should at least respond coherently to the post you quote.

    i agree. i would dodge the draft, and i might use cocain, and i dont think its something you can use to judge a mans character, although i do agree george bush needs to go, and he needs to go now.

    How are draft-dodging and cocaine use not a measure of one's character? It says a lot about someone's character when they don't want to fulfill their lawful duty, or choose to violate their nation's law.
