There are those who use their wealth and status to help out kids in the third world via adoption and then there are people like Soros that says all their money is needed to beat Bush, who is destroying children in the third world.

Re Arthur Miller and his Down’s Syndrome child…

It was a different time, and there were different perceptions. And less understanding of the problem. While I admire her stand and her family’s, I wouldn’t condemn Miller…

This is off-topic but has been on my mind. Sarah Palin did not abort her baby with Down’s Syndrome and acknowledges this infant quite publicly as part of her family. Compare this unequivocal acceptance with the cold conduct of Arthur Miller, the playwright and liberal icon, whose plays have defined a certain era and currents of American intellectual life, but who never acknowledged and hid away his own son, Daniel, with Down’s Syndrome. Of course Mr. Miller never ran for office, though he was active in politics, and Governor Palin doesn’t write plays. But the basic impulses evident in their respective actions toward another human being, imperfect but of their own flesh and blood, might prove illuminating. There are those who write of the human condition and the common man, of compassion and acceptance, and those who actually live it.

He’s not even mine, really. Just an old barn dog that got left behind by someone else. This old boy had a weight problem…he started out on 4 cups of food a day! Now he’s cut back to about 1 3/4 cups a day…his shoulders seem disjointed somehow, and he’s posty hocked (back legs are sort of straight up and down instead of having a bend to them), so I’m trying to keep his weight just right…so we can’t see ribs, but we can see the indent between his rib cage and his loin area. He’d lived outdoors all his life, so we didn’t know how he’d adjust to house living. Heh. When it gets cold, we open the door for him to go do his duty, and he looks at us like…You want me to go OUT??? ARE YOU NUTS?????? He seems to have adjusted.
Definitely not a watch dog, though. Looks like it, but not.

Sorry to hear about your old soldier.

To let you know how my mind works, when you wrote “big barking dog” I thought you were refering to my pistol, because that’s what I once called it. Gun nuts, what are ya gonna do?

Heh. Step away from that bush, you guys! I’d bet both are suitable for the purpose.

I’ll stick with the big barking dog…or two. Don’t have one at the moment…waiting for an old mostly deaf one to pass on to the next world. We have a Dobe rescue not far away though…and when the time comes, I’ll take a drive over there.

Ladies, it is Danny who must be read on this subject. For he knows from which he writes.

Danny, thank you, but I must defer to the man who has the UltraCarry.
This nail driver is very nice but not for carry, as you know.

To be honest I’m kicking myself a bit for letting my eyes drift from the carry case to the howitzer display. Oh well, in time I will join your ranks.

Note to Suek and Book (for when she comes around)…listen well to gun guru McLaren.

Kimber makes some of the finest .45s in the market. I love my UltraCarry – small, light, flat, easy to carry, with only a 3-inch barrel and still accurate at 75-yds. It’s nice for women (my wife prefers it to her 9mm) because it is light, sits comfortably in the hand, and has relatively little kick (for a .45). For home defense, it has great stopping power.

Indeed Sue. The point is that the bad guy gets the message before he can hurt my family. Of course, a loud dog is always a more simple way to convey “security” before any guns need to come out!
