I'm not providing an excerpt for this. Not so much for the subject matter, but it's so badly written and so complicated you need a GPS to navigate the story.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Well, "Furries" do claim to be just like everybody else.

Cross my heart - I didn't look for this. It just appeared on my feed.

Woman takes therapy dog to furry convention thinking it’s an event for pets

Furry conventions are not a place you take your pet – but one woman didn’t realise until it was too late.

So you can imagine Cheryl Wassus’ shock when she turned up with her therapy dog, Link, only to find a huge group of humans dressed as animals.

Cheryl and Link’s adventure was documented in a series of hilarious tweets by her son, Kenny Wassus.

Maybe Ms. Wassus met someone nice there?  Aren't they all lovers of cute pets?

East Palestine Police: 8-year-old drives 4-year-old sister to get cheeseburger

EAST PALESTINE, Ohio -

It wasn't a Big Mac attack, but a hankering for a cheeseburger that prompted an eight-year-old boy from East Palestine to get behind the wheel of his dad's van and drive to the local McDonald's with his 4-year-old sister.

East Palestine Police officer Jacob Koehler tells 21 News that the boy pulled up to the drive-thru window of the restaurant at around 8 p.m. Sunday after driving from his home where his parents were sleeping about a half mile away.

The boy just wanted to buy a cheeseburger at the Market Street restaurant, according to police.

“He looked up videos on YouTube on how to drive,” said officer Koehler, who adds that witnesses say the boy followed the rules of the road, stopping for lights and keeping within speed limits.

The children did get to eat at McDonald's while they waited for their grandparents to pick them up.

No charges are being filed, according to Koehler.

Maybe they should give him a driver's license since he's already doing better than 80% of the drivers on the roads today.

Man eats 255 Peeps for World Record


http://kluv.cbslocal.com/2017/04/11/man-eats-255-peeps-in-5-minutes-to-break-the-world-record/


Why!?  Why would someone do this to his body?  According to the nutrition facts for Peeps, each one contains 7 carbs.  So he ingested 1785 carbs at one sitting, almost all of them pure refined sugar.  I would think he could have blown his pancreas out, or at least done some damage.

And here I was thinking. "Only 255, that's not so hard bet I could do 256." Not that I plan to try. I like having my pancreas.

@Cripplecreek

That's the undeniable truth.  I tried to eat a circus peanut once, when I was a kid, and I gagged it right up.

I used to know a weird guy who loved Peeps, but only after they got stale and crusty.

She needs to be committed.  "I want to push it to the limit"....with a 50-tube tanning bed at home.  You moron, the limit comes when skin cancer kills you.

Those balloon boobs look like she has a fat person sitting on her lap.
