The following quote was stolen from Outside In - and if you haven't had the good fortune of stumbling across this blog, DO SO. It's some of the best writting I've come across yet. She has a powerful post called CHEESEHEAD CONSERVATION NEWS about Wisconsin and the INSANE laws they are trying to pass - one being the right for hunters to shoot cats. That's right, cats. Why? Because they eat too many doves.
Words to live by, people.
"The animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with extension of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren; they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth."
~Henry Beston, The Outermost House, 1928

Thanks for the nod, Amy. And this just in: Although outdoor enthusiasts approved the proposal 6,830 to 5,201 at Monday's hearings...Gov. Jim Doyle said Wednesday, "I don't think Wisconsin should become known as a state where we shoot cats...What it does is sort of hold us up as a state everyone is laughing at." He says he'll veto it. That on Yahoo news at 210pm. :-)
Right then - I'll post the good new up here too!
What is my tongue broken? I can speak correctly, really I can.
