Sounds like another game of Fascist Simon-Says to me. Now even the military
takes people's words for things instead of fact. And I'm assuming that
petitions would not be very effective...

Case in point. I have never respected the military, really, but now I have
another point on my side. If they cannot find out for themselves whether or
not a ferret is HARMFUL or not, WHAT are they doing with BASES in OTHER
COUNTRIES?!?!?!

This is fine by me.

Yeeeagh! It has started already! NOOOOOOOO! Wait. So what does this add
up to? I guess the military is genetically changing ferrets into
cattle-hybrids so that they can be allowed into bases. I guess that makes
sense, since everyone knows you cannot be hurt by a cow... even those great
big male ones with the funny looking handle-bars.
HERE is the SERIOUS QUESTION (Mr.BIG Moderator can edit the above because I
am non-sequitor fert but I need an answer to this): What is the policy in
California if a person is caught with two ferrets? Are they destroyed? Are
they removed to a shelter? Are you kicked out of the state? What about a
fine? Is there more information on-line besides `Ferrets are Illegal in
California?'

[Moderator's note: Nah, the California question is totally ferret (no plug
intended :-)). The comment about respect for the military is the one a bit
off-topic! BIG]
