Believe me, I am most appreciative of the money you put into this game as an owner, and how you coordinate it with your immense care for the animals, but I'm wondering if at least sometimes you don't consider approaching it as more of a business.

Your sacrcasm is endearing and so exquisitely executed in a subtle manner.

And I too am appreciative of your thoughts as a owner of large stocks of two year olds.

I of course greatly appreciate owners putting on the show at their expense. If they did not, I would not get to see the animals run which I enjoy a great deal. I think owners that really love the animals have already questioned themselves about my reactionary ideas. Making them, reactionaries in thought only. There has never been any discussion about this.
