Re: RC: Dogs at Rides

[Teddy Lancaster <Teddy@runningbear.com>]

It all boils down to an increasingly inconsiderate society.  WHY?  Because we are
loosing more and more of our freedoms because SOME think they can do as they
please..regardless of others.  It boils down to the basics of lack of self-esteem.
Where does self-esteem come from?  From learning that what you say and do IS
valuable.  Our society dictates everything we do and leaves NOTHING t our
individuals thinking.  Almost gone are the freedoms for which this country was
founded...

will FIGHT for my rights..dogs among them.  Take away the guns and dogs and you
have an open invitation for crime.

Dogs are FAR better deterrants.
