Kathryn, I thought Anthony’s op-ed about U. Va. was nicely done, although I’m not sure I agreed with it. The piece right below his is worth reading, too. The writer is advocating the continuation and strengthening of a county’s ban on pit bulls. I have no, er–okay, I have no stake in this fight, but I enjoyed some of the quotes.

“Thomas R. Hendershot (D), who is sponsoring the repeal of the ban, told The Post, ‘If you did the same thing to human beings, it would be a grotesque violation of human rights, and indeed it would be called genocide.’” Indeed. Of course, you could say the same thing about putting lettuce in a food processer, or putting wood planks in a chipper.

“Hendershot’s aide, Patricia M. Doty, who keeps two pit bulls at her home in Calvert County, calls the ban ‘animal racism.’” Which made me immediately think of Jonah.
