Some thoughts on people shooting their neighbor's dogs

That's how things are being reported over in countryside near here.  One dog had his ear shot off by a hunting arrow launched by an irate archer although it lived. Another dog was shot dead under more serious circumstances possibly justifiable.

It seems to me that you cannot even have a dog any more in these United States other than the little chi-chi dogs who are smaller than house cats, (and who barely even qualify as dogs in my opinion) these days without having to live in fear of lawsuits, complaints, and police citations, as well as the unabashed antipathy from many of your neighbors.

More depressing news from the land of the Magna Charta

The UK Labour Party wants to require "journalism licenses" in order to distribute or broadcast news or opinion. So much for a "people's party" that wants to shed its image as an overbearing, intrusive, social engineering-obsessed mob of nannies.
