>From: Sukie Crandall <[log in to unmask]> >Ah, well, I AM a blonde....The "blondes as stupid" thing began with >bigotry against Scandinavians Jeeze Sukie....lighten up! (like maybe a different shade of blond might help;-) People make themselves into victims over such stupid stuff! I've had two ferrets and one guinea pig die this week and my personal rabbit was just diagnosed with mammary cancer. "blonds are stupid", "men with big feet have other big"...appendages, "ministers kids are hell raisers". Please put things into perspective, if you're really insulted by an innocent comment, communicate directly to the poster. Here in the Seattle area, the shelters are being inundated with surrenders. It started the beginning of September and it is still continuing. Young ferrets, old ferrets, healthy ferrets, sick ferrets. We are overflowing, and on Friday night we took 5 ferrets to the Washington Ferret Rescue (because they had an empty cage.) Then today we had 4 more ferrets surrendered to us. Could we stick to ferret stuff? I'm sure there's a victims list out there if anyone really needs it.
