More thoughts on animals...
Pets are being killed right now, in 2007, in Zimbabwe for food because people there are starving. The focus of the reporting I've read seems to be on the concerns of animal rights activists. WTF? Last time I looked, it was still floating around the African continent where people seem to be dying by the millions yet first-world animal rights activists are worried about their media image for criticizing the actions of starving people. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070914/ap_on_re_af/pets_in_crisis;_ylt=AuyBoggB4rWNvayPh1ppIhJvaA8F

I'm in one of those moods where work has been busy, I've been speaking too much German, and I think I just got another speeding ticket - I'll open it tomorrow. Instead of wallowing in my own self pity, I worry about how miserable the rest of the world seems to be. One coping mechanism is drinking french red wine.
Sorry folks, that's all I've got in me tonight.
