I've always been a big fan of animals and nature. We can learn a lot just by watching them day in and day out. My next house is going to be away from urban areas. I want to get a peregrine falcon and watch that little of a miracle stoop at about 200mph.
hearts, you and I have talked before about our mutual love for dogs. I tend to be more implicitly trusting of dog people (and I mean, not as opposed to cat people, but as opposed to people who don't understand that pets really are FAMILY MEMBERS). If someone doesn't love dogs... I really have to wonder why.
knights, a falcon, huh? I remember going to USAFA football games and they always had the falcon trainers let the birds loose at either the beginning or halftime. It's crazy the speed those birds can get.
Hey, c'mon over, LF. My latest rant is about our fine and loyal friends.
I love all animals, but consider myself primarily a dog person. It feels very strange and definitely wrong that I don't have one at the moment, but we live in a small apartment which (a) does not allow pets (our cat is bootlegged, not possible with someone who barks) and (b) would be unfair to a dog.
So it really pisses me off when I see people abusing and neglecting those mostly angelic beings.
You've got a blog, you've got a blog, you've got a blog, you've got a blog, you've got a blog, you've got a blog, you've got a blog, you've got a blog, you've got a blog, you've got a blog.
Hooray!

"knights, you've been to feministing, you know it's not a lesbian site. "
Yeah, most of them seem to think religious people are idiots and they are the enlightened ones. *eye roll*
The author/administrator whatever her name is, is hell bent on equal rights and for women's voices to be heard but is so quick to cut off any speech that isn't inline with the rest of the orgy. :) lol
knights, first of all, your use of "lesbian" as a perjorative denomination is rude and demeaning.
Second, stereotype much? An "orgy"? I know I haven't slept with any other commenters. And does subtlety escape you? Lots of people disagree about lots of things on the board. Oh, but I guess that when almost everyone is pro-women's rights, that's way too much consensus. Better to meet in the "middle ground," right? Maybe women should just count as 3/5 of a person.
Third, I'm very religious, and openly so at feministing, and only one or two commenters have ever had an issue with this. So if you read into the comments an anti-religious slant, it's coming from you and your own biases.

We all identify ourselves in denominations of certain kind. Most of us are proud to do so.

It was directed at the discussion part. Most of the commenters are inline with everyone else and if someone is not inline they are cut off.
"Maybe women should just count as 3/5 of a person."
Is there a 3/5 of a person that is capable of functioning? Where do you get that I count certain people as 3/5?
Andy, I know one religious (catholic) gay person. He just came out of the closet as they would say. I would say they are religious to an extent. I'm not religious too, I just drank 10 beers last night.

It's a great story. Many of my best friends have been dogs, and I have always believed that they give far more than they get.

LF, I have a new love. :) That bird is so amazing.

Hmm....there is something attractive about law people. My favourite commenter was a lawyer from Connecticut (works in New York). He was my mentor.
By the way: you are not the same katie from that lesbian site, are you?
What on EARTH is "that lesbian site?" Is there only 1? *confused* Anyway, no, I don't frequent any lesbian sites at the moment...
katie, aww, thanks! And thanks for visiting!
knights, you've been to feministing, you know it's not a lesbian site.

It's sooo lesbian......you gotta admit LF.

I thought seriously about naming my cat Galadriel, but Starbuck seemed to fit better.
Knights, for the record, I know a lot of religious lesbians.

Very disappointing though. :(
