Couldn't hold my tongue....

I was disturbed about GK's recent column about the state fair. I think that Pig Lover Anonymous should uprise and picket outside his home. (OMG, am I asking for trouble or not?) I am really upset about his treatment of pigs. Not so much the eating of pork, but the suggestion of whacking a pig. So, i went to salon.com and posted this comment on his column:


GK, do you whack your children? Why would you whack a pig? If you are around your animals and know how to handle them, kind gestures and training go much farther than violence. In fact, llamas that are not very well trained are nasty animals that hiss and spit. I believe that Democrats want to view themselves as kind and not violent people. I am a proud Democrat, and I believe that you view yourself as proud Democrat, too. Then why view violence as a means of obedience?

OMG, I used to work for National Geographic in G'burg. And you know that we had a beautiful lake there. The geese had a sanctualry in our campus and they were mean. They would follow you, hiss and try to peck you. I definitely would not argue with a goose.

Yeah, the same goes for swans. Boy, those things are mean.

I really don't like birds. I think that they are all ready to bite you if they can. A friend of my mom's had a macaw and that beast could break your fingers if it wanted to, and many times it tried.

Yes. :/

Generally remakes are bad. So, we shall see.

Or not. I have no desire to see a remake of that.
