That doesn't mean these same people can't own animals now or aren't extremely bright, qualified people.

Now feel free to respond with immature, sarcastic, thoughtless comments. |
So if we don't agree - our comments are 'immature, sarcastic, and thoughtless'?
I really didn't see anything that rose to that level of indignation.
We'll just have to agree to disagree on this one. My parents spent a ton of money trying to heal a bone infection in my lab's paw and they weren't idiotic enough to try a stunt such as Mr. Romney did.
Again, IMO, an astounding lack of judgement on his part. He was not 8 years old; he wasn't a teen-ager; he was a grown father. And, I really don't think he feels bad about it today. If he does - it sure didn't show in the interview.
I really don't think any of are going to change the minds of any other though; on this one. We all seem pretty entrenched in our positions.
