between stuff like this, giving Minnesota CCW and not raising taxes(cig "fee" notwithstanding) in the face of a massive budget shortfall inherited from Jesse Ventura, Pawlenty is my hero and IMHO presidential material.

Professor James D. Rose of the University of Wyoming reported in the American journal Reviews of Fisheries Science that fish brains were not sufficiently developed to sense pain or fear. At the time he said that responding to threatening stimuli (nociception) was not the same as feeling pain.

“Pain is predicated on awareness,” he was reported as saying in The (London)Telegraph. “Anyone who has seen a chicken with its head cut off will know that, while its body can respond to stimuli, it cannot be feeling pain.”
