Learn to spell bellwether, dammit. It's been misspelled on this thread a squadrillion times already. We'll be seeing that word a lot, and we might as well get it right. A wether is a neutered ram; if he wears a bell to lead the flock, he's a bellwether.

Sorry, it's a pet peeve. End of rant.

MY pet peeve is marshall law. It is MARTIAL law, as in Martial = military.....

Marshall Bob T. Law maybe, but when the military takes over, it is MARTIAL law.

Okay, I'll make a point to spell bellwether correctly in the future, if you'll further explain to us about sheep and creeps. Not just creepy Democrats, however, or the nasty things some of them do with sheep.
