- 45 states have felony provisions for animal cruelty
- 40 of those states are first offense provisions
- Animal abuse is one of the earliest indicators for anti-social behavior and an indicator for a diagnosis of "conduct disorder" (American Psychiatric Association, 1994)
Consider that in the same 45 states the killing of a unborn child is NOT a felony. Also in the 40 first offense states you can have as many abortions as you want, the more the merrier. Lastly, the American Psychiatric Association says this about abortion and metal health, "As we have known, there is no convincing evidence that abortion is a significant cause of psychiatric illness." (check out the link to their report on this here). Later in the report they even go on to say that (and this is verbatim) "Women have abortions because they understand the importance of good mothering;"! Damn, why am I here? Didn't my mommy love me enough......Good Grief!
I guess us humans are just going to have to find a way to get cuter so that people will love us enough to end the cruelty to the unborn.

The greatest prophecy of our time is that written in Humanae Vitae in 1968. Every single one of the things that Pope Paul VI said would happen as a result of birth control has indeed happened.
When bishops and priests came out publically against this document, all of them should have been asked to leave right then and there. We would have lost the left in the church, avoided the vast majority of the sex scandal, and had a strong moral position in the world today with Catholic leadership. I think that this document will one day be viewed as the great turning point in the world and in the Catholic Church equal to the reformation.
I suspect that is one of the "things I have failed to do" moments we pray God to forgive.
Al civilizations come to an end. I have long been of the feeling that America started its descent in 1973 when it legalized abortion.
On the other hand...
The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska was $80,000.00. At a special ceremony, two of the most expensively saved animals were being released back into the wild amid cheers and applause from onlookers. A minute later, in full view, a killer whale ate them both. Law of the wild or Divine justice?
Two animal rights defenders were protesting the cruelty of sending pigs to a slaughterhouse in Bonn, Germany. Suddenly, all two thousand pigs broke loose and escaped through a broken fence, stampeding madly. The helpless protesters were trampled to death.
A buddy of mine at work had kept track of his yearly earnings since he started working in the late 50's. He provided them to another buddy, who normalized them to the CPI.
In constant dollars, his income increased up until 1973, then it began to decrease or level off up until he retired in the 1990's.
The lack of 1/3 of the next generation is one of the unspoken reasons that we're in the economic pickle we're in.
Talk about cutting of your head to spite your face!
Were the pigs given a reprieve for their contribution to common sense?
Sports Illustrated is not something I ever buy, or normally would read, but a family friend has been giving me the issues he has finished.
I don't remember which issue had NASCAR driver Jimmy Johnson on the cover, but also mentioned was an article on "The Future of Hunting."
THAT story opened with a confrontation between a couple of Canadians who had a confrontation with a pair of aggressive wolves. One of their neighbors, (who would doubtless be described by Rush Limbaugh as "a young skull full of mush" and by Robert Ringer as "a member of the diaper brigade") heard their story (which included the real fear they had of being attacked) and was enthralled. This young idiot loved animals so much he refused to eat them. He walked out, alone, to experience an encounter with the wolves. Doubtless he expected to dance with them.
The snow told the story: they pulled him down three times, scattering his blood far and wide. Two shot later had polyester in their digestive tracts.
aha: story was in the Nov 24, 2008 issue. Idiot's name: Kenton Carnegie. Place: Points North Landing, Saskatchewan province, Canada. Google on those two terms, and you'll find a bunch of stories about it. and it wasn't polyester, but plasticized nylon.
