speaking of maturity
how about we at least agree that the situation is complex, there are over 300 million of us
in a country where we have the level of freedom that we do, people are going to make a lot of mistakes
some times the effects of those mistakes ripple out to the rest of society
some of us accept this as a tradeoff, and are glad the founding fathers agreed
if we start taking away the freedom to do certain things, simply because some people abuse that freedom, we are moving away from the idea of America
but yea, who cares of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people die in the streets
real enlightened, mature perspective there pal
We do better for pets that have been unfortunate enough to be "owned" by irresponsible morons. Instead of rewarding that failure of the pet "owner" to properly provide for them, we remove them from that substandard care and usually fine the offender for not doing so voluntarily.
