I'm clearly a dog lover, but there seems to be no end to the number of threads in GD on pit bulls these last few days.

Poster #5 nailed it: Sharks, missing blondes, Michael JACKSON, now Mel GIBSON and pit bulls.

Just about anything can have an angle that is "politicial" for GD: JACKSON, how this society is handling child abuse; GIBSON, interaction of religion and prejudice; pits, human responsibility. But in this case there is little room for DISCUSSION (as in General DISCUSSION): Dogs are good, irresponsible people need to be trashed.

I remember focusing on SCHIAVO as a major POLITICAL issue from Day 1 and being asked not to take attention away from the mass demonstrations for peace taking place at the time. I just wish that some topics could be consolidated into appropriate forums for the duration of their shelflife--today, this being a Mel GIBSON forum and a pit bull forum.
