Years ago there were jerks in my neighborhood who shot or poisoned dogs who dug in their gardens or crapped in their yards. I have a different tactic. I feed them chili.

The dog thinks it's great but the owner pays the price for letting his dog run loose.


We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
