Excellent points. Some of us are paying attention to facts, and others seem to be caught up on stories. Interesting to note that the news is here to report unusual or rare incidents. If these dogs were all really dangerous, there would be millions of deaths a year instead of less than 20, and once it gets to that point, it isn't media material because it's fact. The longest news stories have always been about a drama which seems to draw out conjecture instead of absolution.

I agree. All I can add is that emotion is a blindingly powerful force. That's not a bad thing, but it does have to be taken into consideration when you react to things.

By the way that is a general "you" not a you "you." I always worry that will be misconstrued as personal and forgot to change it to "one." ;-)

A bit OT, but have you seen the movie Bombon...

It was filmed in Argentina using largely nonprofessional actors.
The lead character is the directors chauffeur.
It is in Spanish with English subtitles.
A delightful little film. I found it at Blockbuster.
