i promise fen though i may put words in your mouth i will never regard you as a mascot or mouthpiece, nor as human. some dude on good neighbors says he sees the next great culture war in america as a clash between those who regard dogs as humans and the others, presumably the sane majority. i told him that's ridiculous, unless we regard it as human to lock people in all day with brief walks, collared and leashed. the beauty of dogs is that they are not human. bizarre, with all the human catastrophe current on the planet that dude would be worried about dogs.
