An Auspicious Beginning

Any day that starts with more tiger news is, in my opinion, a good one. I can't explain why I'm so fascinated with the story, not when reasonable people see nothing to it, but I am.

Part of my interest is that I'll never know what happened. If those involved haven't spoken yet, they probably never will and the total absence of any hard facts means the truth will rest the side with the attorney who can do the best job of arguing.

This, by the way, is what is meant by "civilization," the very thing that is prized by so many people. These laws, and these lawyers, have given us a government that we can truly be proud of.

Anyway, the tiger's not coming back, and I'm sad about that.
