My daughter is like a jr PETA member (enjoys informing me that it's cruelty and that I'm mean for watching). My son likes racing okay but will be with his idiot father so yeah... it's fine with me if I'm here and online and celebrating with you guys (who are here) and my TVG account.

Let your daughter know that I've been a PETA member since before she was born and I still love horse racing...the purpose of PETA is to speak out against obvious cruelty, not impose their will on the masses. Speaking out against individual cases of abuse in racing is one thing, sometimes some in PETA get carried away...like the magazine they sent me once describing "humane" ways of dealing with flies and mosquitoes (LOL).

Well thank you, good Sir, and yes I have tried to explain such things but alas, she insists they are tortured, abused ponies.

After a while it becomes too draining and just a waste of time trying to explain it so that's where I'm at at this point.

If I, apparently, have no soul? So be it.

I love how Pamela Anderson was all about the Kentucky Derby til someone in PETA yelled at her. She's a member and was a fan. I think she didn't realize we were on PETA's s**t list. Now she's calling it cruelty. As much as I believe in the ethical treatment of animals, I can practice it without joining up with PETA. I like horse racing, fried chicken is delicious, and I'm gonna call my dog a "pet" if I darn well please.

As for where I'm watching the Derby, in my house, probably from the same television I saw the Rags to Riches/Curlin Belmont. Yeah, I really need to get a newer tv. Am I the only one who doesn't have a flat screen?

I tried going to a Derby party last year, but to me, the Derby is serious business, not a time to socialize.
