&lt;p&gt;It is clear to me that the cops were up to no good and in fact knew they wrongfully killed Kojo or they would not have thrown his still warm, lifeless body off of a cliff. Shame on you for condoning their despicable behavior. It comes as no surprise to me that everyone who knew Kojo reports he was an extremely well-mannered and well-adjusted, friendly, loving dog. I am so sick of ignorant cops using the tired defense that the dog was “vicious” or “aggressive” when in countless cases the witnesses have reported otherwise.  The good people will not allow cops to kill innocent animals and put the lives of innocent people in danger. We will speak up regarding this clear abuse of power by your police officers who are supposed to serve and protect, not terrorize and needlessly kill the innocent!&lt;br&gt;Sloane Quealy-Miner &lt;a href="http://www.bslnews.org" rel="nofollow"&gt;www.bslnews.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Sloane Quealy-Miner</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 16 May 2012 12:34:16 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Daily Blend: Monday, May 14, 2012 | Preliator pro Causa</title><link>http://preliatorcausa.blogspot.com/2012/05/daily-blend-monday-may-14-2012.html#comment-529809662</link><description>&lt;p&gt;These threats are a dime a dozen these days, it seems …&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Joé McKen</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 15 May 2012 21:02:34 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Daily Blend: Monday, May 14, 2012 | Preliator pro Causa</title><link>http://preliatorcausa.blogspot.com/2012/05/daily-blend-monday-may-14-2012.html#comment-529808581</link><description>&lt;p&gt;There was a (hoax, apparently and thankfully) &lt;a href="http://gawker.com/5910483/gay-rights-organization-briefly-evacuated-after-bomb-threat" rel="nofollow"&gt;bomb threat&lt;/a&gt; at the Human Rights Campaign.

The next most common negative responses were "judgemental", hypocritical, and too involved with politics. Among churchgoers in the same cohort, 80% also chose "antihomosexual" as their first response.

&lt;p&gt;That defining marriage so that only heterosexual couples are included, isn't really outlawing same-sex marriage (because same-sex couples are still allowed to live with each other, etc).
