I guess I didn't read between the lines like you (and others) on this list did. I don't feel like arguing about it, and honestly am not sure I have anything to argue about. It just makes me uneasy and baffled, that's all. There have been many many stories of brutal animal abuse coming out of Iraq (by our own men), I guess my mind went instantly there.
I still doubt that there isn't more than enough "pleasure" coming out of this "population control". Whatevs, I'm out of this conversation as far as this goes. Like Ras said, not a lot is going to come out of me sitting on my ivory tower getting all spun up about this. Interesting that if this wasn't such a big deal, why everyone went here first rather than asking WTF is wrong with Bruce and maybe we should start worrying about him as an individual. Hope you make it back in one piece Bruce. Almost there man. On Wed, Apr 8, 2009 at 1:23 PM, Erika L.
