Professor Bainbridge...on law, politics, religion, culture & food

Professor: congrats on the new site. Very impressive. I look forward to making it a regular read.

My condolences on your recent loss.

To the animals we associate with, we must seem immortal.  We’re here when they first see the light of day, and we’re here when that light fades.

I often wonder who benefits most from our association with them.  We give them rather little, all things considered.  But then, their needs aren’t great.  They give us rather a lot, considering what little they have to give.  Loyalty, mostly, and a delight in the simpler things - chasing sticks, balls, cars,..., a happy greeting when we come back after a long day.
