- I think people ought to be charged with "criminal stupidity" if
- they let their toddlers pull themselves up on the front of the
- TV. Anyone who has ever picked up any TV knows that the thing
- is *very* front-heavy.
- A similar scenario took place not too far from here this fall.
- Migrant workers were picking apples in an orchard when a 2 - yr.
- old found a truck tire that was leaning against a building. He
- managed to pull it over on himself. He died. Where was mom?
- She was picking apples. So was dad.
- I don't recall what, if any, charges were made. I think the death
- was ruled `accidental.'

- The more you deal with people, the more you like animals.
