While it might seem a little silly to give a young child extra large stuffed animals, the fact of the matter is, they will eventually grow into them, much like they will the clothes that were bought for them that were too big.

The problem with giant stuffed animals is that once you have succumbed to purchasing one, another (and another) will soon follow.

Owning a big plush dog does not require the same amount of responsibility as owning the real thing. While it's true a big plush dog needs loads of love and attention, when it comes to food and walks, there is of course, no requirement at all.If history is right, in that there is at least a 15,000 year relationship between humans and canines, then the first animal to be domesticated was quite likely the dog. Over these many years, dogs have played different roles and been involved in various types of jobs but one thing remains the same: despite their numerous shapes and sizes, dogs are all one species and have one history.Dogs are members of the Canidae family and Canids are part of a bigger group called Carnivora; this group also includes cats, bears, and seals. According to fossil evidence, 40 million years ago, Canidae split away from their common ancestor, Carnivora. Thus, for approximately, 15 million years, Canidae have been spit into three sub-groups: wolf-like animals (wolves, coyotes, and jackals), fox-like animals, and South American canids (like the crab eating fox).Scientist Charles Darwin thought that dogs were descendants of different types of wild canids, however,...more

As the lame duck session of Congress convenes, I am sure we will here a lot about whether or not and how the Bush tax cuts should be handled since they expire at the end of this year. If nothing is done, every U.S. tax payer will pay more in income taxes next year. If all of them are renewed, then everyone will not see any increases in taxes.The main sticking point between the two factions within the American political class is whether or not to renew the tax cuts for those American families earning more than $250,000 a year or individual Americans making more than $200,000 a year. Obama and the Democrats want those hard working, higher earning Americans to pay more while the newly invigorated Republicans want all of the tax cuts renewed. Thus, I am sure that unless things change, we will have more childish debate, as we always do with our politicians, as they pit one group of Americans against another for their own political gain, the good of the country be damned.However, it does no have to be that way. The following paragraphs explain a way for all parties to get what they want, the deficit and national debt gets addressed, and pertinent national needs are addressed. But before...more
