These cases are more common than anyone cares to believe. I read this disturbing article about a study performed in the 1940s in which Kinsey asked 20,000 Americans about their sex lives. He discovered that 8% of males and 3.5% of females admitted having sex with an animal. But when he gave the test to men from rural areas, the numbers shot up to 50%. Now we have DOUGLAS SPINK (yes, any man who boinks a bronco deserves all caps) up in Whatcom County luring zoophilic tourists to taboo territory. Aren't there behavioral clues to this type of bangtail BS? I remember hearing about a guy in South Carolina who went to prison for doing a horse and when he got out he revisited his hoof habits at the Lazy B Stables and did the same horse again...which only goes to show that Mr. Ed's theme song is false...A horse is not a horse of course of course. Okay, so here is my question...I know someone is going to call me a perv, but what does it take to make a horse excited? Do they hook him up to something or let him watch National Velvet? Maybe lock him in his stall with Winner Circle photos? I just don't get this whole sordid thing, but am very glad a law is coming to the rescue.

Recently I attended a dinner party where Hanford was discussed. One of the women had grown up in the area during the 60's as her dad worked at the plant. She remembers all the kids jumping into the river when they turned on the reactors because the water heated up so quickly.
I have 43 friends with cancer...some from the Tri-Cities area. I applaud your article because as long as this issue is swept under the storage tanks, the number of those facing deadly diseases will grow and our health will be compromised. Why is it so hard for people to own the guilt that puts innocent people in harms way? Or am I just being naive in my utopian thinking? Maybe I should learn to accept the fact that there will always be collateral damage involving the sacrificial few for the betterment of bombs.
It makes me think of a quote by Carl Jung. It is as applicable today as when he wrote it in 1934. "Go slow. Go slow. With every good there comes a corresponding evil, and with every evil a corresponding good. Don't run too fast into one unless you are prepared to encounter the other."

Got to say, still love Campbell. Any guy who checked out of the economic bust during the Great Depression to read books is my hero. While others sat and fondling their empty wallets, he read and got something out of those despairing days. Not a penny to his name, but he said he'd never felt such freedom.
"Every book, every volume you see, has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived it and dreamed with it. Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down its pages, its spirit grows and strengthens." The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon

Come on people...why are you attacking the author because he has a view on Pit bulls? I just witnessed a Pit bull rip a small dog out of a woman's arms and shred it. Another friend underwent chemo and a Pit bull attacked her before her reconstructive Barbie boobs had a chance to gel. The vet said it was because the dog could smell the poison in her. I'm not saying ban Pits but the owner should take full responsibility and expect some pretty harsh punishment if something happens. That's fair game.It should be the same for any breed that decides to make lunch meat out of another.

We are probably not going to know the full effect of this for years to come. History is the ultimate judge. There is no study that can cram 50+ of exposure into the initial projected outcome. No, we don't glow in the dark, but we have one of the highest rates of MS in the country and cancer levels are above normal. And that's not an urban legend.
