And too, seeing the animals suffer, ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE may be a breaking point for me.<br><br>I hate cruelty and I hate suffering and feel helpless, most of the time, to alleviate any of it.Karen Kayehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05915108169277149393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652913178267408726.post-33219946799142945142010-03-08T17:25:18.169-08:002010-03-08T17:25:18.169-08:00Will you be grateful to be back in America?Will you be grateful to be back in America?deannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06859160117149012787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652913178267408726.post-19359659314837721622010-03-09T23:24:58.092-08:002010-03-09T23:24:58.092-08:00YES, I will be grateful to be back in America... ...YES, I will be grateful to be back in America...
