When I peruse these usual bad dog threads here on a so called conservative forum I'm often struck by how easy it will be one day to outlaw or regulate large dogs just like we do firearms tobacco and alcohol.

It's coming..make no mistake.

These things are always incremental.

The first step will be registering any dog over 50 pounds. Requiring all males not in locked breeding kennels to be chopped at the balls....that sort of thing.

Just look how smoking has gone just in a generation ...from smoking areas to simply no smoking...not even outsdie in the air....off property period..

Now it's cell phones.....no texting while driving is first. Next will be no cell phones while driving period.

In a culture where even conservatives applaud some nannystateness these culminations are inevitable.

Sad. We were so much freeer and more personally responsible when I was a boy.

I know I sound like a libertarian...odd....but I see this getting worse.

It's like we're putting bandaids on a crumbling culture without addressing the real issues from fear...usually fear of something ethnic or racial or gender oriented.
