    Not sure where you are, but in Mich. it is easier to contact your senator with the question which he will relay to the AG. The AG will reply to the senator who will relay to you. Very hard to contact directly.

    dangerous dogs

    SaintofKillers Your friend who says Border Collies are the most agressive, must have a fever. I have been breeding and training them since '84, and I find them delightful. They love kids and most people, and are ready to retrieve cattle any time I send them.

    Jessica's Body Found in Florida

    I forgot to mention that those who were not tamed by said cutting or pinching, were given the death penalty. Those who were edible, were eaten, those who were not, were buried.

    Jessica's Body Found in Florida

    On the farm, we either cut or pinch any male we don't wish to use for breeding. I think it would work on sex offenders also.

    need advice- property issue

    I would suggest that you have a small tape recorder in your shirt pocket ANY time you speak to this fellow. Especially while talking about that destroyed tree stand. This has worked for me in a small claims court with a less than reasonable neighbor who tried to dodge the issue with untruths.
