Default Thoughts on Letter to Editor

Her letter is of course one sided and biased, but even having a touch of truth is too much to put up with. As long as the industry insists on so many races at so many tracks every day, running less than healthy animals will be necessary and accepted.
With intertrack and satellite racing, it would seem less tracks need to run as many days...but greed is a terrible thing, and has ruined many sports.
Just my humble opinion.

Default The #1 Killer is Exposed

If we really want to reduce deaths in this country forget cars, although they do cause many deaths.

The number one killer is that absolutely abohorant action that eventualy brings people do their doom....eventually.

Having sex....and nine months later another child is born that is sure to one day die of something.
