Let me get this straight...

So pharmacists can choose to decline to fill a prescription because of "conscience", but a muslim cabbie can't decline a fare for the same reason?

Some consciences are more equal than others.

(Why can't we do this to pharmacists?)

More on the pet food recall

There is another ingredient found to have melamine contamination: rice protein concentrate.

This one hit close to home because Natural Balance is the brand I feed my kitties - but not that particular variety. I thought it was safe because it didn't have wheat gluten. The company's actions were heartening - they got six calls from dog owners about it and began the recall, then started testing and found the contaminant.

This seems to make it even more likely that some of the the contaminants got into other food supplies.

Bye, bye Kitty

My namesake, Kitty Carlisle Hart, passed away.
