Wow, I was halfway expecting to get flamed for my rant, lets see if I can address all the relevant points, the humorous ones were good to
so If I hadn’t responded to you glorious wit, please know I laughed just the same. Onward!

The whole bubble wrap idea was scrapped in favor of foam rubber, because the threatened “Tikilliawithkindness” bird, who’s natural habitat covers an entire square meter area some where you never herd of, COULD mistake the bubbles for it’s natural food (six pack rings) thus leading to it’s extinction.

Mr. Mudd, I never said I was not in favor of animal rights, I said I was NOT in favor of a small group of people telling a large group of people how to live.

It is beginning to look that way to me. Seriously though, the whole situation will probably get so comically out of hand that there will be some sort of public back lash and people like this will be laughed out of existence – or one can only hope.

That’s the way it is supposed to be, however this megalomaniac
and her posse of fun police thinks she should have the right to write the permission slips for 9000 kids, not just hers.
As do I.

This is SO true. I couldn’t organize some of the field trips that my son has gone on, like the farm for example, and do you think they would give a tour like that to a group of 3? Any way if people like ** Peggy Hilden** have their way there will only be government approved, politically correct (by her standards, not yours), non competitive, non life demonstrating excursions - like say trips to…umm…trips to…hmmm, well that about wraps it up for field trips!

You know, I fully realize this is the real meat and potatoes of the issue. The thing that chaps my hide (tee-hee) though is the platform she and her pals chose to demonstrate their one size fits all, small minded, culture killing point of view.
[Peggy voice] “Gosh, I’m bored, I wish I didn’t have all this time on my hands… HAY, I know, I can go ahead and fuck with the lives of all the school kids in the S.F. area, geee, wont that be fun?!?” [/voice]
I don’t see this happening really, zoos are becoming more PC, better habitats for the animals etc, also zoos provide a place for dying species to hopefully recuperate, witness the California Condor program for example. (See, I toldja I wasn’t necessarily against animal rights).

I love it! And to that end we are not talking about a Spanish bull fight here, where the object of the game is to see who dies first, the bull or the Matador. Its a competition where a human tries to beat the clock by demonstrating his/her prowess with regard to a certain group of skills that involve animals one would find on a traditional western cattle farm. Hopefully no one gets hurt. (by the way, I have been thrown off a horse or two.)

Yeah, I agree, that’s what got me started. Profoundly arrogant IMO.

I think its like NDP wrote
I wish I could send that woman a copy of this thread, I wonder how she would respond. It’s no fun throwing sticks and stones at a jerk unless they know they are being hit!
