..........what kind of a world do we live in when a guy like this gets death threats?

Hi everyone (both of my readers); long time, no blog. It's getting busy in the life of this high school teacher. The family and I went to Disney World for Spring Break, and it was an outstanding vacation! It was in the mid-high 80's every day; which in itself, felt great. We got back home and it snowed the very next day!

Alright, lets get down to business. How about a non-political post? I knew you would love that. This is a picture of Knut the polar bear, and he is receiving death threats. Knut does not have a mother and has been fed by only by humans. He will be totally dependant on humans for the rest of his life. Knut currently resides in the Berlin, Germany Zoo. The animal rights folks say that zoos are cruel to animals and Knut should be executed because he can't possibly survive in the wild. This means life behind bars for young Knut. I'm going to have to take Knut's side on this one. Knut has never known the wild and; therefore, will not miss the wild. He only knows his zoo environment and his interactions with humans. I doubt that Knut would have a bad life. He gets "three squares a day" (I love saurkraut and sausage, and the Krauts have the best beer on the planet), all the girls love him, and he doesn't have to worry about those things in the wild that will cause stress (just imagine something like global warming - oh, wait; there is no global warming). It's like being Attorney General, screwing it up, and resigning with a more than adequate retirement package that you could never dream of getting! Opps, sorry - this is about the bear, about the bear, about the bear. Anyway, maybe we should look at our "life in prison" guys like that. They have known a life on the outside. After a conviction for some horrible crime, they are sentenced to a life behind bars. Maybe the humane thing to do is just kill them??? Being in prison is cruel. I bet the prisoners would argue that point too. I think Knut should live. I think Gonzales should resign - focus, focus, it's about the bear. Right, the bear. Knut will bring great joy to many lives if he is to live. Live, Knut, live!!!! Resign Gonzales, resign!!!!
