When An Animal in Your Care is suffering, You don't SIT THERE and do NOTHING
"cshenk" wrote in message ... wrote Clara Semps wrote the next 3 months, except for the animals, of course, or... ? Well, I hear ranting but I don't hear solutions. There are no easy answers cybercat. I feel your frustration. Can you feel mine? Or are you so caught up in your anger that you can't see the forest for the trees? Clara: Cats are simply the means by which Cyber visits her frustrations on the world (at least as she perceives it here in this NG) so that she is absolved of having to actually do something about them. In this singular venue, she remains 'superior' to the rest of the great unwashed and is permitted to visit judgment upon them without consequence. Harshly put but possibly true. Let it rest. She won't change and by engaging her all you do is reduce your happiness. Definately true. You know, while I appreciate the valuable psychological analysis, the fact is, we are all entitled to our opinions. I measure my own humanity in part by how well I take care of those who cannot take care of themselves, and they are not all feline. I am disgusted by Clara and others who simply justify their own selfish lack of regard for their animals with these kinds of disingenuous arguments. I am particularly disgusted with you, cshenk, as you should know better. You can bet that while this insipid bitch is not taking her animal to the vet, she is not doing without. Not one bit. This is a cat group. We like cats. When they are sick, we like to take care of them. We might even get into our retirement accounts to do so! Just amazing. Have fun analyzing my character. I guess you could say that anyone with strongly held convictions holds said convictions in order to "feel superior," and/or takes a stand to vent life's frustrations. You're entitled to your opinions. To respond to these heartfelt (sob!) critisicms of my cruel nature, I would like to say that I would be ever so kind and gentle if these ****ing idiots would just go on about their business of neglecting their animals and allowing them to suffer without posting about it in a Usenet group. That would make me feel so much better about my miserable little life, I might not be "harsh" at all. Assholes. |

It may have been "voodoo economics", but it worked and got US out of it. .. Nope, Reagan began the dismantling of controls on big capitalism. That led directly to the looting of our treasury by the very wealthy, as shown by the ever growing gap between the extremely wealthy and everyone else. Globalization moved good paying jobs overseas where big capital could make even more money and leave American workers with less. Trickle down has failed miserably. Tax cuts on the wealthy have raised taxes on the rest of us while that capital has been looted. Our infrastructure has rotted away while huge profits went out of country. I voted for Obama but don't think even he can pull us out of this one. The jobs are gone, the industries are gone, and all we have left are "financial professionals" pushing around paper. That's our legacy of Reagan. He was a fascist and started us down the road to what will likely become a fascist state as things get worse. It worked in the short run but bankrupted us in the long run. It could never have done otherwise. The four words that need to be remembered here are "too big to fail". Once our corporations became too big and too interlocked, we can't let them fail. So they made abysmal decisions that we now have to live with. We really should just let them all collapse, as the moron Republican assholes mouth off about, but thinking people know we don't have that option. That will just make things even worse. There are no easy answers. That's what makes for good facism. They have easy answers for everything and morons like you will go along with it. |
