As I understand it, this list list is a forum for many ferretowners to gather and exchange information, stories, and opinions with relation to those we all care so much about, the ferrets. This forum is also a worldwide forum as I have met many friends here that live in foriegn countries and hope to meet in person someday. The folks who post here are from all sorts of occupations and beliefs, and by beliefs, I mean not just religion. Maybe it is sad that in America, we are spoiled in that we are raised and taught that we have rights that folks in other countries only dream about. We have the right to free speech and the right to freedom of religion. We have the right to peacefully protest and disagree with others. Everyone needs to understan that not all people agree about everything and that it is ok to disagreee about something. Just because you don't like something someone said in no way gives anyone the right to condemn that person for what they have said. Having watched many of my friends give their lives in nam so that you can say what you want, and thinking of the thousands in the past wars that died so you can express your feelings, makes my hackles rise when I hear this petty bickering over mispelled words,diction, or religious beliefs. Every second that is spent on this negative bx, is time that could be spent improving the life of someone or something else. If you don't like it that much, just skip it. Well, more time is now wasted, on to better things. Ferretguy [Posted in FML issue 3241]
