i couldn't help but realize that if this thing were standing in germany it would be an anatomy lesson in *all* of his parts.
i wanted to say thank you for pointing me to a good book today.
your film recommendation "das experiment" sounded interesting, and the lead actor is one of the few german actors i'm familiar with. i already knew about the standford experiment but i'm interested in this film, despite the horrible violence i'm in for. as i did some reading about it today, it referenced another human nature experiment called The Third Wave. i seemed to remember seeing this book on my husband's shelf so after doing lots of reading online, i read the book today too! it's fascinating! it's about how the german people let the nazi party commit atrocities, how they couldn't/didn't stand up against them (or when they did, you know what happened).
i hope that you are also familiar with this story - with this history teacher from 1967 who made history in his class by recreating the conditions that led people to follow and not think.

So true!
On Re-Homing an Animal:
"Sometimes, the greatest gift you can give an animal is to recognize that that they might be better off somewhere else and then finding that somewhere for them." and
"The best animal owners are the ones who recognize the animal's needs over the preservation of their own pride and selfishness."

Good trail partners are not just about keeping pace – it is about riding with people who will inspire and encourage you. Good trail horses are generally made rather than found. The horses that have surmounted some baggage are doubly esteemed because they required their rider to dig a bit deeper. ~Horsebytes
"Love me or hate me, both are in my favor. If you love me, I'll always be in your heart. If you hate me, I'll always be in your mind." ~William Shakespeare
When it comes to horses, size doesn't matter. "Admire the tall and ride the small"
No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn’t trying

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great."
Mark Twain 1835-1910

In my opinion, a horse is the animal to have. One Thousand pounds of raw muscle, power, grace, and sweat between your legs.
It's something you just can't get from a pet hamster.
