Seen it before. Years ago the "Doggie Spa" cropped up. It's been in many a "got nothing better to do" story given to a reporter to get them out of their boss' hair for a while (or as some sort of punishment). > It seems we don't have enough major issues to deal with, such as > US aggression and occupation in a foreign land in which we have > virtually no clue as to the desires of the individual people > themselves.

So what? Are they forcing you or I to spend our money on it, or is it their own money? > Judging from some of the scenes, the dogs were at best > disoriented, and certainly were in such a class that they might > prefer to be somewhere else other than in such a facility.

I personally know dogs who relish that kind of experience. We have recently started "kennelling" our three dogs at night. Much to our suprise they took to it immediately. Only one of which, btw, had even been kenneled before (indeed was raised in one as a show dog). Previously, we were of the opinion it would be cruel. > Face it folks.

It isn't impossible, it's been done before. > We live in a very sick and perverted society today. I am Why? Because some people want to spend money on their dogs?? Just because your dog may not like it, doesn't mean others wouldn't. I don't suppose you'd be after a law to make those illegal? I'd hope not. You make teh same argument Republicans do regarding pornography, or drugs. > > I submit to all of you, we have not learned one damn thing. > We're stuck with this baggage, and for better or worse, we will > have to live with it for a long, long time to come.

The difference is in whether or not they use it as an excuse to do nothing. > We treat our dogs much better than this! What kind of message is > this?

What, doggie spas?!?!? > I suggest that Bill Anderson sadly, isn't going to be of much > help here either, Well if they are spending their own money, you are right I won't be of any help in your dream of eliminating doggie spas as immoral. If they are using tax money for it, then you might get some assistance from me. I do have more important issues on my agenda, such as fighting the DMCA, CAPPS II (we beat CAPPS I), and other crap such as software patents and ridiculous and harmful copyright and patent laws. Things I imagine you have zero to little interest in yourself. Which is fine by me; I won't hold it against you that your priorities on liberty are different than mine. If you want to wage a campaign against doggie spas, go ahead I won't hold that against you either. I will, however, hold it against you if fault me for not putting effort into a campaign against people spending their own money on doggie spas. > since he has already decided who will represent > me, or my interests, nor will Robert Goodman, in this quest > promoting semantics in support of his own goals and aspertations, > and for his own undefined ends. My goals, *aspirations*, and ends are quite well defined and stated if you cared to use your memory, your archives, and your eyes. You simply choose to forget and ignore them whenever convenient for you (which happens to be most of the time). Granted, the books aren't yet out but they are being worked on. I've got other works to finish publishing as part of my C.V. for the books (expected to be published in 2005 woohoo!). Not to mention the political defense of liberty on the Mars Homestead lists.
