That old Mencken chesnut -- always in season.

I agree with Joanna about zoos. I find them terribly depressing, and the
spectacle of people gawking at caged (drugged?) animules (Spike Milligan's
fine malapropism) seems to me low-level barbarism.

'Course, if you put Objectivists in cages, I might revise my opinion. "Look
son, there's a Randus Dorkus! This breed is especially hostile to the
minimum wage."
