I want strong legal protection for all animals. I want offenders to pay a $10.000.00  fine & go to jail for 10 years or more.  Protection now is little more that a slap on the hand.

I also want ALL laboratory testing to STOP.  If they must to torture something, try murderers & child molesters. We have a lot of them.

I would eliminate the ignorance, stupidity and arrogance that is rampant in this country.  Talking loud on your cellphone, blasting your TV at Dialysis, cutting in line, failing to use your blinker in traffic and this entire me, me, me, mine, mine, mine mentality that is overwhelming our society.

Disagreements, lawsuits, murders and wars could be eliminated with the removal of these traits from our society.
