1139.0. "more anti antics" by SA1794::CHARBONND (it's the fling itself) Thu Feb 06 1992 14:10

Washington - Today a group of activists met, and formed a new coalition.
The coalition, People for the Ethical Treatment of Earth's Rocks, or
PETER for short, has declared that it will campaign against cruelty
to 'that unprotected minority, rocks and stones.' A spokesperson for
the group, Lotta Fumduckers, said, "We are serving notice, that inhumane 
treatment of these humble citizens of our planet will no longer be 
tolerated." Ms. Fumduckers stated that the group will campaign against
'rock oppression' on all levels. "Kids who think that skimming stones
across a pond will be taught that the stones have an inherent right
to be left to lie in peace on the shore. Nobody has a right to subject 
these innocent creatures to such violent displacement. Highway workers 
who routinely dynamite huge areas of rock will be taught sensitivity to
Gaia the earth mother. The same goes for 'rockhounds' and others who
condone the senseless collection of our stone brothers and sisters."

Ms. Fumduckers was especially concerned about gemologists and jewelers.
"Jewelry makers, especially those who polish gems and stones for senseless 
human vanity and adornment, will be subjected to severe criticism. Nobody 
will be allowed to casually abuse these downtrodden citizens for mere
pleasure," she said. "We are putting the entire De Beers group, and others
of their ilk, on warning. Those who support these stone murderers, by
flaunting the dead carcasses of gemstones on their fingers and around their
necks, will be publicly shamed for their callous attitudes to our little
friends."

Ms. Fumduckers further stated that it would no longer be considered
appropriate to refer to 'pet rocks' as such. They should instead be
referred to as 'rock companions.'

    Sounds like Fumduckers got stoned liquor on the rocks, and hit rock
    bottom.  A rock in someone's shoe.  Does she live in Boulder Colorado?
    Is she between a rock and a hardplace?

I saw the ultimate in stupid, insulting, doesn't-have-a-clue bumper stickers
yesterday.  It was on a ratty looking car, to boot.  

The sticker featured a picture of two men, with hunting rifles and dressed
in hunting clothes, shooting their rifles at each other.  Above the
picture, were the words

		HUNT EACH OTHER

and below the picture was the caption.

		Leave the Animals Alone

Nope.  They were Coloarado tags, and I saw it in Colorado Springs.

How's that for biting the hand that feeds you?

    Petsmart is advertising have your pets pictures taken with Santa Claws.
    Proceeds benefit the HSUS.  $10.00 for two polaroid snapshots.  I WAS
    going to take my lab there, but not now.  Supporting the HSUS, my dog
    doesn't believe in Santa Claws.
    
    Maybee I should feed her with alot of oil in her food to give her the
    sh*ts, and then take her strolling around in Petsmart.  Or maybe force
    feed alot of water down her.
    
    Earl, you needed to know about the HSUS before you take gus down there.
    What are you going to do?
