There's a great piece over at The Opinion Mill that hit a strong note with me.  If you substitute 'animal liberationist' for 'creationist' it's right on the money in describing why countering the talking points and myths put forth by the 'pit bull' haters is a waste of time, and why they don't seem to understand that there is no factual or scientific basis for their off-the-wall claims.

Here's a snip:

"...They also understand that for a scientist, getting into a “debate” with a scientifically illiterate crank has no upside — it is simply a time-suck that will keep him away from career-advancing research, while giving the crank a spurious air of authority."

Here's the whole thing.

Brent has some pictures of a puppy that spent the weekend with his crew of natural-born killers, one of whom is a refugee from the Oklahoma situation.  You can see from the pics that things were pretty tense, alright.  For those of us in Ontario, the sight of a bull-and-terrier puppy is something we haven't seen for awhile so it's a nice treat.  Hopefully the Ontario law will be struck down so that bully lovers here will again be able to welcome these charming bundles of wiggle-waggle into their lives.

I want that puppy to come and live at our house.
