I marvel at what is put up with these days.

Back in the 50's my mom had called the police about a dog that would generally cause havoc around the neighborhood.

First words out of the dispatcher's mouth were, "Madam, does your husband have a gun?" Times sure have changed.

Yes, they have.

Those who grew up on farms (as I did) know just how crazy things have gotten in cities in this regard.

If I were to shoot a muskrat or opossum or even a stray cat or dog, you could bet the "conservative animal rightists" here on Free Republic would take me to task.

"Conservatives" aren't very conservative anymore...
