Wag the Dog
Introduction
I don’t mind giving minorities equal rights and equal treatment. It’s when a small minority rises up and requests something illogical hiding it in logic that I have a quandry. It usually causes more problems than it solves. This was written in response to a tail wagging the dog scenario in my life; after its creation, I found it fit some situations in the lives of some friends. However, I sent it to a dog lover to review. Big mistake! I held it for a bit, but after the piece Patsy Starke did about constipated dogs (which I did appreciate), I figured it was time to pull it out and run it (just not where my favorite dog lover could see).
***To clarify, it is not commentary about any one political or social situation currently in the news; it has more to do with the daily administrivia in various settings, administrivia which makes no sense to me with the way I’m wired.
WARNING: This might be triggering for dog owners.
