March 10, 2010

I totally recovered from yesterdays exertions. I was really tired at the end of the day. Spring skiing is exhausting to say the least, but one can get a nice tan.

Today we went to Macy's to buy a birthday present. While there we happened upon the ladies' swim suit displays.

Spending most of our summer time on the beach we looked around for anything interesting. Well, there wasn't anything nice. But what I noticed was that on the grown up department junior swim suits were in majority.

I came to the conclusion that the reason for that is Spring Break time which is coming.

As far as I know Spring Break is an American institution that gives the college age young people license to get drunk, rowdy, promiscuous, very likely pregnant, possibly killed by overdosing on drugs or alcohol.

Granted there are Spring Recesses in Canada, Mexico, China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan and other countries but not like in the US.

It is a time of the year when the college kids run wild in locations like California, Florida, Mexico and God knows where else.

Young men and women congregate at these locations looking for fun. After a hard year in college studying for their future they think they are entitled to this relaxation.

I know there were several surveys made for the increase in birth rates after major power blackouts. I wonder if there were any surveys made for the increase of pregnancies after the Spring Breaks.

These people are the country's future. Beer swizzling, drug eating sex crazed individuals.

But the fault does not lie with them alone. Where are the parents? The parents have nothing to say about where these people go on their free time?

Every parent is convinced that their offspring is the one who is without fault. I got news for those parents.

The parent is always the last to know!

The other day a woman was charged with animal cruelty after she viciously attacked an eleven month old English bulldog pup with a snow shovel.

The ASPCA says the dog, Spike, had "a hip fracture, a broken leg, three broken teeth and injuries to his ears." In addition he also lost one eye. This was the result of months of abuse.

I can not understand why people have to bus defenseless animals. I love animals, any kind of animals.

As far as I am concerned they are better than most people. They are honest, they don't hold a grudge and even after continuous abuse they still show love toward their owners.

OK, if a tiger gets hungry he'll eat his owner, but he'll do it lovingly.

To me to abuse an animal is as sick as abusing a defenseless baby or desecrating headstones in a cemetery.

Maybe the Saudis have the right idea. For one theft they chop off one hand, for two the other hand an so on until it gets to the head.

I would like to see those animal abusers to be put into the same situation they put their animals in.

Interestingly, only humans are capable of cruelty. An animal even have the decency to kill his prey before he eats it. And usually the kill is swift.

It is so easy to give away a pet if someone doesn't want it. To torture it and to make its life miserable is just not normal.

But animal cruelty is not a specialty in this country. It can be found all over the world.

Many years ago in Hungary they came out with a law that required dogs to be registered because the owners were to be taxed.

People didn't like this tax rule and rather than pay many of them got rid of their dogs.

On the western side of Budapest there are mountains and woods, all within a day's reach. People took their dogs into these woods, tied them to trees and left them there to die.

I would have tied the people to the trees and left them there instead.

At least dogs are not antisemitic like most Hungarians are!

  1. How do you know about the "orgies" that take place in the Spring Brake? Personal experience? Where are they? Is there an age limit?
