Crime and Punishment

nope, nothing to do with the book......just another curious idea that entered my head.....when we do regard animals and plants as living beings, and even thinking beings, how come people who kill them go scot free, yes, there is a hype when the odd salman shoots a buck, but otherwise , what about the chickens, cows, lambs, fishes, crabs, shrimps etc... no, i am not being ultra moral, i was just wondering about the double standards of us humans, we cry murder, (no pun intended) when there is a human killing involved, but we choose to close our eyes to the co inhabitants of our planet.....

oh man, it helps to have an ad in the front page, hehe, my counter isnt moving...... :-), unlike our award winners, i am not going to claim that the count does not matter and i get satisfaction from my work, hehe...so thats it for the day, with the only thing left being

"That shocks me, Marsha, but I do understand that you did it out of love for me, and I forgive you.So, what was the third time?"Marsha lowers her head and says, "Sidney, do you remember when you ran for Country Club President and you needed 62 morevotes?"Sidney fainted......
