Chuckle. I know some kids who would have benefitted from this.

I know some adults who still would :-(. I know I'm going to get
flamed for this, but for a certain segment of the population, I would
be in favour of some sort of mandatory birth control (though I'm not
sure I would go so far as sterilization because I always have hope
that people will change).


I won't flame you. I wish we could sterilize certain people, I really do.
I would love to fix men and women who had abused and/or abandoned children.
There is an organization that will provide long-term birth control to
hopeless addicts who request it. I believe it will also sterilize them for
free if they request it. I can't remember what it's called -- anyone know?

I have absolutely *no* problem leaving dear cats alone for a weekend as long
as they have enough food and water.
If I go away for a longer period (which does not happen very often), then I
'employ' someone like other cat people in the area and vice versa.
With the dog it's different: 6 hours is the absolute maximum, otherwise I
can luckily give her to my mother or a friend or even the shelter.
