We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
Actually the email that is forwarded in is incorrect. That is not in Texas at all. It happened 40 miles south of Savannah, GA. They have the whole story and several very high quality photos of the incident at http://www.fws.gov/southeast/news/2004/r04-073.html
