Chivalry Our Lord's-Style, ca. A.D. 33
I saw a video on one of my friend's Facebook feeds the other night, one of those videos taken with a mobile phone that can now be uploaded to the world from anywhere in the world. It was one of a number of videos taken at the same time--you could see all the other people in the scene holding up their phones, too--so I don't know how many of them there are of this particular incident. The scene is a street and there are about a dozen or so men standing round, most of them with their faces covered by black ski masks. In the middle of the group, there is an older woman, dressed in a black gown with her hair covered also in black. She is carrying a red backpack. The men, according to the description of the video that my friend gave, are talking with her about how offensive they find it that she will not cover her face, too. All of the men are carrying guns. I cannot watch this video, it is too awful. Because my friend told me what happens. After talking with the woman for a few m
Adorable! Welsh Corgis are terrific dogs.
ReplyDeleteWould you travel for 12 hours with her strapped onto the roof of your car? Just curious how a dog-lover like you feels about that story.

I wouldn't, but only because I don't think she would enjoy it. Surely you have seen dogs riding along with their heads hanging out the window, clearly enjoying the wind in their ears. As I understand it, the Romneys' dog crate was equipped with a windshield (which Romney rigged specifically to protect the dog), and the dog quite willingly jumped in for the ride. Just think of the dogs you see riding in the back of the pickup truck: dogs seem to enjoy speed almost as much as people do. My dog is also crate trained, so I know that dogs are actually totally comfortable being in their crates, unlike what some protestors at AKC dog shows have sometimes presumed.
