I sincerely hope you’re being sarcastic and I’m just not getting it. If so, well done. If not, get a grip. It was a prank. The goat is fine.

That’s cruel. There ought to be some consequences for the individuals who did this. If these people are old enough to be in college, serve their country in war, and vote, they ought to be held accountable. At the very least, do some community service for the AWLA so they understand the plight of homeless animals.

Obama was down to 69% this time. Rich people voting for Romney maybe?

Common sense (dict definition): “sound and prudent judgment based on a simple perception of the situation or facts.”

What policies are common sense (and why) and which are not (and why)?
