  1. I never suggest such a thing. I specifically state that all current pets should carry on as they are. Acquiring new pets would be discouraged by high licensing fees or something. Your argument for keeping pets in general is the same as not giving up eating some beef. I've made my point. Emotions are triggered which I don't care to engage.
  2. Nobody in this country is going to do any of that until forced to. Most can't even be bothered to read your clear summary made in a digestible paragraph. People will choose their dogs over their grandchildren. In fact, they are doing just that as well as choosing hamburgers, needlessly large vehicles, or anything else they believe they're entitled to. Frankly, it seems like we've already impacted nature enough that we won't be able to prevent climate disaster. The melting permafrost is a gigantice problem, and there is nothing to be done about it now. Discomfort, pain, or fear force change. By the time climate change evokes any of those, it will be too late. I like dogs. I just don't like them above everything else. Your statement about the battle not being won by addressing the statistics quoted on the last page is not much different than saying, "Me giving up beef five days a week won't make any difference?"
  3. He was a Trojan Horse that the Dems knew was a Trojan Horse, but they were too cowardly to vote against a Black man for fear of losing votes because all Black people are alike and wouldn't recognize a POS Black person. Idiot/Coward World The Dems should not have needed Anita Hill to cover their chickenshittedness about voting against Thomas. Back then, my feeling was that the GOPs are evil and the Dems are weak.
  4. I'm sure all the people living in the climate cataclysm will understand. We should curtail child births, but the DNA won't allow it. That's something nobody can stop. We could take bolder steps regarding cars and mass transit, but it's too costly and inconvenient. We could make owning a new pet extremely expensive through licensing, but dogs are great. We're spoiled. We don't want to do anything that changes our status quo. I'm not doing a lot myself. I don't eat nearly as much beef as I did, I'm careful with water (not a climate thing, but I need enough stuff for another comma), and I'm about to buy a car that gets twice as much MPG as our current main vehicle. Electric is impossible where we live. We will be hated. Rightfully despised. I cannot be satisfied to shrug my shoulders and do absolutely nothing. We don't listen, either.
  5. The obvious has no value here. That's a great cartoon.
  6. Sadly, there is an aspect of meat consumption statistics that nobody seems to want to talk about. People don't want to give up much meat consumption, but they'll want to give up this even less: UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability We're a pet-crazy nation. I like dogs and cats. The resources going to them and the damage they do is nuts. Stop acquiring new pets. When your beloved dog dies. Mourn it. Don't replace it. You can live without a new one just like you can live without a giant pick up truck and 20% of the meat you now consume. Or, people can keep doing what they're doing and pass some more consequences the the young. It's not a difficult guess about which way the Americans will go. We've been very consistent in our choices.
  7. It would actually be healthy for them to find a different rival. It would be a rivalry instead of a Holy War. They need to get out of the jijad business. Many of them deny how much they care about Texas while being very concerned with whether or not we consider them to be our main rivals. Irony-deafness is never funny.
  8. We should be, too: Yikes! Hockey goons! I guess that's why the Bulldogs are top 15 every year. Mississippi scary. The Aggies know how to lose in Mississippi. They're just trying to warn us.
  9. The elephant should be the US. The GOP made the nest that egg was nurtured in. They are that monster as much as Trump is.
