You have no need to pity me. I have always had a dog but I don't
expect you to shed a tear when she dies. I don't cry for dogs I don't
know.

I preferred Johnny Cash. Did you cry for him?

Then you don't know me at all. I also cry for the thousands of Iraqi
children who died. How about you?

Nor do I, but that doesn't prevent me from having some sympathy for those
who do. Human emotion is a wonderful thing, you should try it some day.

I mourn his passing as I do Slim's. They both were great contributors in
their chosen areas and added to the lives of many.

Again you display your callousness by even asking that question but for the
record the answer is of course. Furthermore the unnecessary violent death
of any child at the hands of someone should make people angry that it should
happen in the first place which, at the end of the day, is a seperate issue
anyway.

Just how many dogs died of old age in the world today? You want me to
care?

They only added to the lives of those who appreciated them. As an
example, I doubt my dad even knows John Lennon is dead. And he doesn't
mourn the breakup of Pink Floyd. He is not aware of their existance.

So how do you feel about Australia sponsoring that war in Iraq?

There are 80 million people born, and die, every year. Three every
second. You want me to mourn for a dog I've never seen or heard of
before? We only get to hear about dead people who were cute or can be
worked into a nice sound-byte.
