A Sacrificial Filly

Two sacrificial lambs were offered to the pagan "Extreme Right" gods this week. Both mares suffered unconscionable deaths, one public and one private. Which death was worse, lying feet up on your back in front of millions of viewers, or solely hanging in the dark of a musty tool shed? Euthanasia is one of the most painful human experiences, but choosing to inflict it upon one's self?That must have been excruciating. It is interesting how life in America has driven us to the point of no return, where death seems more appealing than life. Dennis Klebold and Eric Harris thought death would be more pleasing, and as they exited the United States they inflicted their pain upon fellow students at Columbine High School. Seung-Hui Cho inflicted his personal pain on 32 people at the campus of Virginia Polytechnic Institute as he exited his tormented life in the United States. Timothy McVeigh inflicted his pain upon 168 people at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, a significant modern act of genocide in the U.S. It was not until September 11, 2001 he was trumped by irreverent, psychotic, Muslim idolatry. In tandem mental illness and narcotics covertly have lost the war for "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" in America. Methamphetamine singlehandedly has taken the place of the lineage of American anodyne drugs that served to anesthetize us from the brutality and failure of American life. The question must be asked if the drugs of the "Flower Power Generation" were as deadly? When these kinds of things are going on, when fillies are being slaughtered in public, and Geisha Girls are committing suicide in tool sheds, we must ask ourselves what is wrong? Dr. Larry Bramlage, Eight Belles veterinarian, had never seen a racing injury of this magnitude. Things seem to be escalating and people and things are dying. The honey bees are taking a hike. The coral reefs are saying adios. Life as we once knew it drastically is changing, and there must be a reason. If we don't cut through the gay, financial, religious, fanatical agenda and find the roots of humanity again, life as we knew it will soon be over.
