First our Environmentally Friendly Vice-President uses four billion gallons of water, during a drought, to float his boat for photographers, then announces he wanted to murder millions of little animals just to prove that turpentine and rat poison are dangerous! Why are we killing our little friends? Humor about hurting other living creatures is not funny! It is a serious matter! I would think that YOU of all people would be sensitive to that! I read that 'joke' and went and hugged my three kitties, and little dog, Smudge, too! I had to assure them that I would never 'punish' them in such an unseemly manner- They saw the joke, since I share my communications with my little friends! You need to be more sensitive about other living things, Eric. I think I shall go in and discuss my continued subscription to the LUG, with my dear sensitive wife, over a nice ham sandwich...
