A quote I carry in my wallet:
Not all dogs are fit to hunt, nor in the same way are all men gratified by it. Nor, for those of us who share this dogs pleasure of hunting (if you will,) do I ask special tolerance or understanding. We are as we are and if we seem to you to act immorally it is certainly your right to feel so, but I say most seriously that you exceed your rights when you urge that laws be made in the shape of your conscience to block pleasures permitted by mine. When you prevail you commit a crime against freedom and that’s the greatest immorality I know. ~ Vance Vourgaily

Great quote – accurate and well written! Where’d you find this one??
Now if you can just get the hunters that oppose my right to own and use semi-automatic rifles that they deem unfit for their fair sport to understand and agree with the principle, we may actually be getting somewhere.
The bottom line is that your rights don’t require my approval…and vice versa. That’s kind of the point.
“He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates his duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.”
–Thomas Paine
Great quote Cory,
I will surely remember that one, another one which I heard once also says it all as well:
“They’re all good dogs, just some better n’ others.”
Great site ya’ got here!!!
I would say that’s putting it in words some of us can understand. Agreed!
