POSTALONE:My position as a pet owner is my concern while I do take excellant care of all my animals. As for helping with the bigger problems, well i do that almost every day. As for cats pooping in planter boxes, well lifes hard. Cats are hunters by nature. While some live in harmony with birds and other wildlife ...

Some of the goals of the Constitution Party seem rather unrealistic to me, but the Republican Party has gone way to left for my liking.  I would rather err on the side of conservatism and vote within the Constitution Party than allow our government to continue to enlarge until it has permeated every aspect of our lives.  But I guess ...

To any police officers reading this thread: I hope you do not feel that the whole community believes the police to be at fault in this matter.  It is obvious to me that Officer Trotter had no other recourse with the given situation.  I know that police officers are doing a tough job and the lack of funding and appreciation only makes the

redcity8:So, you are seriously advocating that the Government start embedding chips in people? Once you start doing that, where will you stop?

Thank you all for your posts on this thread, the original as well as the replies.  They provide much needed humor in this frustrating time.  I wish Liberal's could see how ridiculous their actions appear when they use taxpayer's money to fund their ludicrous objectives.

For those that believe cats, as with every other type of pet, should not be allowed to roam, visit http://www.thepetitionsite.com/2/springfield-cat-ordinance to sign the petition.  If enough people sign, I will take the petition, along with sample ordinances from other cities in Oregon, to the city council meeting during public ...

POSTALONE:How about taking up a real cause, for instance, people who are hungry and freezing to death. Lack of jobs in lane county, crime, meth use, the state cutting back the school year. Maybe when some of the bigger problems are solved more people will take seriously the little more trivial ones. The issues you mentioned are all ...
