What happened to the McDowell's (the KC bite case) is truly tragic. There is a lesson that the rest of us can learn from their incident: Don't take everything you hear from the government or the media at face value. My particular pet (had to be topical) peeve is the latest attempt by the government to disarm the populace of this country.

Again, consider the campaign of disinformation used against the McDowells and their furries and ask yourself if its possible that the same strategy is being used elsewhere also. -- Gerry Roston ([log in to unmask]) | The settled opinion here is that religion is Field Robotics Center, | essentially distinct from Civil Govt and Carnegie Mellon University | exempt from its cognizance; that a connexion Pittsburgh, PA, 15213 | between them is injurious to both; ...that a (412) 268-3856 | legal establishment of religion without | toleration could not be thought of, and with a The opinions expressed are mine | toleration, is no security for public quiet & and do not reflect the official | harmony, but rather a source itself of discord position of CMU, FRC, RedZone, | & animosity; finally that these opinions are or any other organization. | supported by experience...
