What a jack ass.
Rather then ask me if I am aware of who the guy is you jump to conclusions about me and what I beleive, and you use mind reading to boot.
LOL...go back and carefully read what I wrote, then tell me who's jumping to conclusions.
"You may want to do a little background on Merritt Clifton before you cite him. He's a PETA freak, and there have been a number of refutations of the methodology of his "study"."
No conclusion there...just a suggestion.
"A lot of Animal Rights leftists see breed specific legislation as a foot in the door towards ultimately outlawing pet and animal ownership all together; Clifton falls into this group."
No assumptions or conclusions there...just some info about the person you were citing.
If you care to associate yourself with his *science*, you'll also conclude that animal husbandry is a cause of global warming, and vegeterianism is the way to go."
Again, no conclusions or mindreading going on. Just an "if".
"Feel free to lay down with him, but don't be surprised if you get up with fleas."
No conclusion; just an admonition I would give to anybody citing Michael Mann on climate change, Dan Rather on journalism, Tim Geithner on tax advice, Bill Clinton on marital fidelity or Merrit Clifton on dog bite *studies.*
