I have never owned a car and have always been very efficient with my traveling. But then the local police department parks half a dozen of police cars near the university, running 24/7 for months, to monitor the dangerous people asking the school to divest it's money from Israel.

Or, in a day or maybe a few hours, someone like Taylor Swift will pollute as much as I do in a decade.

But yes, I will avoid having a dog to make sure a rich billionaire can have two dozens of them to chase the poor from his domain.

The rich billionaire will still have dogs even if you don't, and the cops will still idle their cars even if you don't have them. They don't care. We're buying time for an armed revolution.

Drag had a dog growing up and loved it, but drag could never have one as an adult, because drag wouldn't feel right buying it meat. It's a bit selfish, but drag would rather let other people handle the dilemma about whether it's better to kill shelter dogs or dog food. Drag is perfectly happy with drag's dragon, and one day when we have our own house, we want to get two rats.
