Bobby's Rants, Raves, Questions and Statements

Before we get down to the nitty gritty stuff, I would like to give a BIG rave to a little hero. Another reason why we should place our fellow creatures on a higher level than we do. At least, most of them.

Hero Chihuahua Saves Toddler From Rattlesnake
Sunday, July 22, 2007

MASONVILLE, Colo. — Zoey is a Chihuahua, but when a rattlesnake lunged at her owners' 1-year-old grandson, she was a real bulldog.

Booker West was splashing his hands in a birdbath in his grandparents' northern Colorado back yard when the snake slithered up to the toddler, rattled and struck. Five-pound Zoey jumped in the way and took the bites.

"She got in between Booker and the snake, and that's when I heard her yipe," said Monty Long, the boy's grandfather.

The dog required treatment and for a time it appeared she might not survive. Now she prances about.

"These little bitty dogs, they just don't really get credit," Booker's grandma Denise Long told the Loveland Daily Reporter-Herald.

Now that, is a hero. Can't think of many humans that would have done that! One thing that puzzles me though, "as far as I know, rattle snakes don't just come up to people and strike". What was up with this snake and/or scenario?

Questions And Statements

(1) Last week, I spent quite a bit of time with a variety of MicroSoft people here in Orlando. Most of them from out of country. During the many conversations I had with these people, it is fair to say that "the rest of the world pretty much thinks that most Americans are arrogant, lazy, ignorant to the rest of the world, and, flat out stupid". Hmm..don't think I could have said that any better. Actually, it's pretty sad. Unfortunately, it's pretty accurate.

(2) Aside from "serial killers" and "child abuse/pornography" and corruption, which the "caucasian" race pretty much has a lock on, how come every morning when I get up and turn on the news and see about the previous nights "murders, robberies, car jackings, bad drug deals, shootings etc", the participants are almost ALWAYS minorities? Namely, hispanic and black. Is there that much space between their brains and the brains of other humans? These people need to WAKE UP and get real!

(3) I don't know about YOU, but, "I am sick to death of our supposed professional athletes(jerks)". You have Mike Vick commiting or, at least sanctioning dog fighting and the abuse perpetrated upon the dogs. Alledgedley! Then YOU have this NBA ref, Tim Donaghy supposedly betting and cheating on games he reffed. Actually, all of US shouls stop supporting all these sports and their over paid participants. Another "black" mark on American society. Hey, listen, nobody needs to "nuke" us, we will do it to ourselves from the inside out!

Rants And Raves

(1) Big rant for people that never answer their emails. "Hey, rude humans, why do YOU even have an email address that YOU freely give out and, don't have the courtesy to respond to your mail"? "Are YOU that callous or, that ignorant"?

(2) Big rave for the government of The Netherlands. They actually have an "animal rights" political party in the Parliament/Government. BRAVO!

(3) Big rave also for the German government who was the first European country to give animals equal rights just like people. BRAVO!

Well, that's enough for right now. Give YOU something to think about though. If YOU need some nice music to chill YOU out while reading and thinking on some of this stuff, go to Welcome to Arkensounds.com
