Dog traits differ with the breeds.  Just like peeps.  A person with a Jag
but not intel enough to think about dog breeds/traits has his 'licks'
coming.  I may be more tempted to shoot a dog who trashed me Jag than one
that trashed me Vanagon (content) but I'd still feel bad karma afterward,
being that I'm the jackass in that equation.

Saw a fella in a Ferrari at rush hour coming leaving me neighborhood
yesterday.  Couldn't help but think, 'Now how irate would he be at a driver
who had an everyday, innocent, fender bender with him in this traffic.'?  If
you can own/maintain a Ferrari why would you drive it in rush hour?
