You know the people targeted for exclusion will be those who manned a table for Turning Point or the National Right to Life Committee.

Unlike FJB, President Trump gives a damn. That is a necessary first step in dealing with a problem.

The babies are so adorable and the adults just seen so intelligent and sensitive, like you said

I’d also love it if kangaroos and raccoons worked out well as pets. I know there are people who do keep raccoons as pets, but they are very destructive and they will tear out your dry wall to find something. I’ve also seen that some people keep some of the smaller walleroos as pets, but they don’t exactly house train. And the bigger red kangaroos might kill you.

But I’d love to get to know some elephants… Maybe in my next life.

If they were much smaller and easier to house and feed. They are very intelligent and sensitive creatures.
