That the owners are responsible?

That people are more dangerous than dogs?

That it was a tragedy of ignorance?

the 13 yo 'minder' of the dog threw herself atop 'Smokey' to prevent a shooting

I guess the mother MEANT to endanger the son in the other case, as well.

Oh that's right. Neither family can have loved the dog. Thou hast spoken. Never mind.

Now, for the rest of your analogy:

  • The Neocon junta is a tragedy of ignorance

  • the voters of this nation are responsible for putting 'vicious dogs' in a position of dominance

  • the people love their 'dogs' and will take real convincing to 'put them down'




BTW, I honestly believe that the meanest dog is still morally superior to most humans.
