tonight, a thoughtful e- mail from craig in virginia on why we see more reports of animal cruelty and perhaps why they seem to get more attention than

cruelty to people. 40 to 50 years ago, we had loyal devoted pets because of flees, we kept outside. nowadays, they are loyal trusted loved members of the family that are kept inside. and we used to think that they live for today with limited intelligence. now we worry about hurting their feelings and watch them dream as they sleep. and they used to protect the family, now they are a part of the family. we used to know our neighbors, now we isolate ourselves from them. fewer mishaps with more atten, now placing a higher value on our pets than on our neighbors. craig, i like that one, thank you for taking the time. and then there was one more on the issue of whether or not women ought to take their husband's names had they get married. pity that is pittie from college park saying, well, no way. and you should be proud of your family name always. people carry two last names and almost all societies, spanish, russians, asians, they all do. english, they are acing among the few that don't. then they dare talk about spanish solve anymore.
