The MinuteWoman has a baby Prairie Dog separated from his family. Oh My!

Angel just received a baby Prairie Dog from the Wildlife Care Network. He is separated from his family and is lost. The baby Prairie Dog is scared and needs someone to adopt him.

The Minuteman.

Club it like you would a baby seal!

[I posted a lost animal from Zoo World on Facebook and John C. showed his absolute distaste for the particular species.]

“It’s a wild animal, not your f-ing cat!” –TMW

[That was TMW verbal response after seeing this. It wasn’t Yogi’s fault that the guy was a moron, sadly ranger put her down. I just wish that the bear had completed the Darwin treatment on the moron. –TMM]

“Guns are tools, not a fashion show. Does this rifle make me look fat?” –Overheard at Sure Shot

[I did my best to not fall over laughing. –B]

“Your enemy is never a villain in his own eyes. Keep this in mind, it may offer a way to make him your friend. If not, you can kill him without hate–and quickly.” R.A.Heinlein

[I find this generally good advice for conduct throughout different areas. –B]

There’s no such thing as the intellect. A man’s brain is a social product. A sum of influences that he’s picked up from those around him. Nobody invents anything, he merely reflects what’s floating in the social atmosphere. A genius is an intellectual scavenger and a greedy hoarder of the ideas which rightfully belong to society, from which he stole them. All thought is theft. If we do away with private fortunes, we’ll have a fairer distribution of wealth. If we do away with the genius, we’ll have a fairer distribution of ideas. ~ Dr. Ferris from Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

[All those in favor of socialism raise your right hand.

If this isn’t an example of socialism, I don’t know what is. Restrictions are being placed on the minds and abilities of people because it is supposedly fairer to the less fortunate and to the ones that don’t pull their own weight. Those placing the restrictions are afraid of the people who can take care of themselves and don’t need to be babysat by anyone. It’s a loss of control for the simple minded who want all the power. If this doesn’t sound familiar one should wake up and smell the roses. ~TMW~]

Freedom has been given a chance and has failed. Therefore, more stringent controls are necessary. Since men are unable and unwilling to solve their problems voluntarily, they must be forced to do it. ~ Wesley Mouch from Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

[I see this as a future possibility, especially with the current administration and the appointed czars given the following:

That is only one example of force that is being put on the people of this country. ~TMW~]

“If you are not free to choose wrongly and irresponsibly, you are not free at all.” –Jacob Hornberger

[Constantly there are adding new restrictions for “our safety” or our children’s safety. While it may appear to be good because of increased safety, there’s decreased life experience and learning. Frankly I’m with Scotty’s mom from The Sandlot: “I want you to get out into the fresh air and make some friends. Run around, scrape your knees, get dirty. Climb trees, hop fences. Get into trouble, for crying out loud.” Screwing up was one of the greatest lessons children ever got and we’re screwing it up. –B]
