Family Dog Ends Drunken Family Fight - By Biting Family Members
Edited on Thu Dec-30-04 10:20 AM by matcom

ROGERSVILLE, Tenn. -- A Tennessee police officer said when a brother and sister visiting from Indianapolis got into an alcohol-fueled family fight Christmas night, the family dog ended it.

Hawkins County Sheriff's Cpl. Chad Gillenwater said when he first met 22-year-old Yvonne Lyman, she was drunk, bleeding from a hand wound and shouting profanities at him in the front yard. Inside, he found her sister Christina Lyman, who the report said was also drunk.

She said she had been trying to break up a fight between Yvonne and their 19-year-old brother Nicholas, who also had been drinking, when the pit bull dog weighed in.

The dog nailed Yvonne and Nicholas' hands and Christina's chin. Yvonne and Nicholas -- both of Indianapolis -- face domestic assault charges.

All the siblings were treated for dog bites at a local hospital.

4. Because...
the USA is built on violence and alcohol fits in real nice with that consciousness.
MJ is bad because it causes introspective behavior and peace might break out. No profit in peace for the Reichwing.

7. Shred is right
Dogs can teach us how to be peaceful beings to each other..Cats can teach us to relax and how to love fully sensually and nonsexually,(any cats who choose to can do this by default,be they two males two females or males females it doesen't matterto them because cats can curl up together and be close,without fear, and comfort each other without self consiousness,attention greed, or put on horneyness...(humans have forgotten how to do this kind of affectionate touch and intimacy with each other.Seems like the tenderness ends once you get past being an infant in our violent culture)Birds can teach us how to interact with each other with playfulness.How many adults do you know who just play for the fuck of it?

11. Some humans can be affectionate in a non sexual way
I've known more than a few. I guess I'm lucky.

13. MJ is also bad for the frantic work ethic
There is another reason why MJ does not fit in with US culture, but I forgot what it is ;)
