Bennett's comments

Former education secretary William Bennett provoked quite an uproar recently when he said that the crime rate could be reduced by aborting black babies. Would such an unthinkable action really reduce the crime rate? Maybe; maybe not. In my view, we've overlooked what is truly important by focusing on these comments. If people of all races were to abort all babies, would that reduce the crime rate? Certainly; the crime rate would eventually reach zero. But again, that's not really the point. The important thing to remember is that if we were to abort all of the puppies, this world would be a much less happy place. Remember that, humans, and then give us the voting rights that we have been deprived of for so long.

If all dogs were as smart as you--well--they should be voting!

Well, Jettybetty, I don't believe we should hold dogs to that high of a standard. But I thank you for your kind words.

I know lots of dogs that are much more qualified to vote than many people.

I wonder what political affiliation most dogs would be. My dogs are quite liberal when it comes to wanting handouts, but when it comes to sharing with others, they are more conservative.

I believe that is why most dogs would register as independents, if they were allowed to register.
