It is a sad day when we put more effort and exhaust the legal system over dogs and cats than we put forth to cure the break down of a social system that allows a child to end up in a freezer.

Where is the outrage?

The Great Society that was conceived 50 years ago has failed the children of today that are conceived not of love and family, but of a system that promotes suppression and exploitation of human beings.
