Regarding your signature line:
"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." ~ Gandhi"
If Gandhi was leader of the USA - ya think he'd allow bombing the shit out of other countries??
Should most likely be in another thread I know,

I wrote, 'Dear Jim: I loved your card.' Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said: 'Jim loved your card so much he ate it.' That to me was one of the highest compliments I've ever received. He didn't care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything. He saw it, he loved it, he ate it

I never heard his name before - but I will not forget it now.

(28,394 posts)I wasn't being a smart ass.... I was just too lazy to read up on Gandhi!
You, on the other hand, researched Maurice Sendak! I am so ashamed.
I loved the anecdote, if that counts. ???

so get back up on the couch - no need to hide behind it!

Sigh of relief!
