Today is a time to remember Casey, his family, and especially his mother, Cindy Sheehan, who has raised to US and perhaps global peace movement from, if not the grave, then certainly ennui. She deserves our thanks and our sympathies on this day. ... read full story / add a comment

400 DOGS FOR SALE adds appear on average in one free adds paper

of which are being raised on PUPPY FARMS here in Ireland. Other

at home.Many people who buy a pup do not realise they are causing
untold misery for the pups mother who lives her life virtually 'in
