<i>It’s hard to do with a fairly small universe of cases to make a lot of judgments about what’s there….I think we just need to be cautious about jumping to a policy shift before we’re clear about what it is we’re trying to accomplish.</i>

yeah and i bet you were all so cautious and clear and had a statistically valid universe of test cases before you INSTITUTED the law right?

My dad and stepmom have four Jack Russell terriers. Each dog has a Facebook page and all four pages are regularly maintained. I hope the DSM-5 will have a category of "Too Much Time on Your Hands Disorder". and yeah, dropkicking has some appeal, but the damn dog would post video of it.

Only in my dreams, my friend. I spent today loading, hauling, and then stacking 120 bales of hay. In addition to a break for picking blackeyed peas and green beans. My actual wild life consists of a weekly visit to town to buy groceries and use whatever Jack-in-the-Box coupon I have left.

I love animals but I have had a few times where I would have enjoyed drop kicking my crazy neighbor's spastic Jack Russell terrier. I'm just trying to figure out how beating a dog = Stand Your Ground. Must be a Florida thing.

To be fair, a Jack Russell terriers grasp of political discourse leaves me feeling weak and despondent.

I'm going to go to Florida dressed as a vampire, smoke a marijuana cigarette, and beat a bear with a Jack Russell terrier. To hell with Disneyworld!!!
