1. Exactly which other parts of the world is North American racing considered "much better?" Quite simply, it is not. From all I've heard, we are considered a joke. Through my own comparisons, we are indeed a joke. Our industry is simply more expansive than most prominent racing nations, not better. (These viewpoints are not issue specific.)
2. Maybe I missed something, but I was unaware this issue pitted conservatives versus liberals. So, if someone can show me what I missed, I will then understand the statement that Paulick is an "ignorant pawn of the radical right."
For the record, I am mostly indifferent to this issue. I do not believe that banning Lasix is the cure-all the supporters believe it is, both physiologically and politically. At the same time, every other major racing nation doesn't allow it, and they do perfectly fine without it. So, either way, yay or nay, I think everyone's going overboard.
