are you saying that if someone is lucky enough to have time to care about dogs being butchered and eaten when other tough things are going on in the world then they are to be commended? I would think that people not making time to give a minimal effort (signing a petition!!!11) would be condemned for their inactivity on an issue they could directly affect.

I guess it sounds like you want to praise people for doing what should be done in the first place instead of calling out the folks who won't do anything.

I am just not sure i understand that last quoted line of yours.
Agenda item? What am I, a politician? Some guy standing on the street corner of an abortion clinic with a sign? Hell no. I have utter disdain for people who do such things. I'm "one of those people" who feels that abortion is wrong. Now, I'm not a woman...so that decision for me comes easy doesnt it? But I would never be against it under certain circumstances. What if the mother's life is at stake? Who's to say what the right thing is to do. In the end, as someone has already pointed out to me, it IS legal. So my thoughts on the subject are simply just that...my thoughts. Tripe, to quote Carrie! But I am no woman hater, so to imply that is just simply ridiculous.

Praise...sure. If its deserved of course. We live in times where "me and my own" is typically the only concern of your fellow man. Sometimes its not even a fault of your own. Many people have families...children...work two jobs...all these things keep you from "making a difference" in other areas of the world. And there's nothing wrong with that.
