Mom and Dad and Uncle Sam

George W. Bush said that "this violent man will never murder again." He was talking about a man named Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a terrorist leader from Iraq who has killed many people. He was murdered yesterday, by the United States. You can read about it at timeforkids.com. The United States is no doubt glad that that man is dead. But didn't another violent man kill HIM? Who is more violent and when does the violence stop? It is like if your brother or sister hits you and then you hit back and then they hit back and then you hit back and then they hit back and then you hit back and then they hit back and then you hit back and then they hit back and then you hit back until your mother or father intervenes. The United States always thinks it's the mother or father, but it is really just a kid doing the hitting and hitting back. It is all disgusting, if you ask me.

Q: Are you the bully sibling, or the sibling who GETS bullied?

Guinea Apes

Remember when people used to say: "I just made a new chicken recipe, want to be my guinea pig and try some?"

Well, according to bbc.co.uk, you may be replacing the "guinea pig" in your inquiry for your friend to try your chicken with "ape!" They may start testing for diseases and all sorts of other things on apes, not just on rats and mice anymore. They say that they need to test on an animal that is more like a human. But since it is more like a human, isn't that more cruel?

The issue is tough. If you stare at an ape for long enough, you get an eerie feeling that you are looking at a very very very long, lost brother. Would you want to stick tubes into your brother and give him the AIDS virus? On the other paw, don't you want to find a cure for AIDS?

Q: Where do you stand on the issue of animal testing? Are you for or against? Where do you draw the line between learning about disease and cruelty to animals?

BLOG ME, YOU APES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
