[RP TownTalk] That eloosive rooster

[Euniverz at aol.com]

Will Rogers didn't have to deal with email lists.  Parrots aside,  I still 
have a problem with reporters trolling our lists and taking what we say  and 
putting it in a newspaper.  IMHO, it's like e-eavesdropping, it  stifles open 
discourse on our list and I personally don't appreciate it. 
 
Avian influenza is efficiently transmitted when migratory waterfowl,  poultry 
and humans live in close proximity one to another with inadequate  
biosecurity measures.   It's likely that will be the reason why  any attempt to allow 
poultry in high density neighborhoods will not be  allowed.  But it's always 
worth a try.

Also, every email we send to this list is publicly searchable  online.

RE the debate over livestock laws; personally speaking,  I can't see what 
the big deal would be over anyone having a couple of  chickens in their 
yard.? Sometimes animals make better neighbors than  people do!? Of 
course, if one person was allowed to have chickens, then it  would 
probably escalate to someone wanting goats, and then  cattle...???

As for reporters 'trolling' TownTalk; well, guess it's  like Will Rogers 
once said, something to the effect that you should run  your life so that 
you'd never be ashamed to sell your talking parrot to  the town gossip.? 
I personally don't care if someone wants to take note of  what I've said 
but I DO feel if they write an article it should be  correct; in the 
rooster article, I said I remembered there used to be farm  where 
Riverdale Plaza now stands, didn't say there was a farm at Riverdale  
Plaza.? Too, our rooster is on Ravenswood ROAD, not Ravenswood Street.?  
Oh well.?
