Circus Elephants, $20 Bill's, Football and Fast Food

More cures for problems that most people didn't know exist. Now the circus will have no elephants because they treat them brutally? If that was the case, why wasn't anyone charged with animal abuse? Because perception is more important than the truth. If it can get in the media then there must be something illegal going on and it's the "new" truth. I didn't know so many people were offended by the $20 bill? How about all those dejected vegan's who want to eat at McDonald's only to find out there's nothing there they can eat? Or how many people stopped watching football because of a historic name? We're being slowly regulated by less than 0.1% of the population, by well funded groups who represent 100's not million's. People who in the 1960's &1970's were against anything that curtailed individual freedom, but found that large NGO pay checks would allow their conscious to impinge on anyone else's personal beliefs.

Uh, they settled out of court for $270K. Of course, ASPCA settled for $9.3M.... Sad to see them go but probably better all round: http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/03/05/the-long-battle-to-remove-elephants-from-the-ringling-bros-circus/

Of course now there's a Florida law preventing Doctors from asking patients about guns or gun safety. http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/08/doctors-cant-ask-about-guns/375566/ Soon your doctor's visit will be fully scripted based on governmental regulations foisted on us by lobbying groups.
