The most expensive thing I ever got was a free AKC registered dog. He was free because my cousin, who was not a dog person to begin with, shelled out a grand for the latest trendy breed without doing any research at all about the personality traits of that breed or the grooming requirements. Six months later the dog was both a physical and an emotional mess. Bite the hand that fed him? Oh yeah. And the hand that groomed him. We eventually got much of the craziness under control but he remained such a problem at grooming time the only solution was to take him to the vet and have him put under heavy sedation for his clippings.

What They Are Saying About Me
"Someone with credibility is saying these things and trying to do something. Thank you."
"'Obtuse' is just about the nicest thing I could say about Jacobson. The problem with being too steeped in any profession is that you run the risk of no longer understanding the difference between reality and your profession's most obscure minutiae."
"I just wanted to thank you for writing such a great article on your reasons why you voted for John McCain. I wish everyone would have read that article."
"Jacobson is doing only what other McCain supporters are starting to do, produce these worthless pieces from some narrow perch in order to cover up their own racist bigotry"
"Cornell and the country need more educators like yourself to keep the flag of reason flying."
“I take it Jacobson teaches at the cow college part of Cornell, and not the elite section where Coulter attended.”
"Thank you for speaking out... and I hope you avoid repercussions in 'The People's Republic of Ithaca.'"

As I saw this post it occurred to me that integrity is free. But truth be told having integrity can cost a lot of money.
I disagree … air is free, and I would hardly call it “the worst thing in life” …
And..women never learn.
