in a perfect world no one would care what you do to yourself in the privacy of your own home. in case you haven't noticed, this is far from a perfect world. we all live in a society of laws over which we have little or no control. many of us on these boards are in the process of committing a felony every day of our lives and it seems to me to be totally irrational to expect that there will be no repercussions. the teenager in question knowingly entered into a lifestyle that put here and her family in danger of arrest and worse, i have no pity for her as i would have no pity for myself under similar circumstances. we all live with the possibility of being raided, that is the choice we have made.

as for the dogs:
most pd's have a standing order that pit bulls are to be considered dangerous and killed without compunction under such circumstances. the blame for their deaths can be placed squarely on the head of their owner, the teenager who put them in the situation in the first place.

the simple reality is that, no matter how we may attempt to justify our actions, we are criminals. though the laws may be unjust, we enter into an implied contract to abide by those laws merely by existing within society. none of us is above the law. we are merely outside the law, if we're lucky. i always keep in mind the line "to live outside the law you must be honest" and strive to remember that honesty starts by being honest with yourself. no matter how normal my lifestyle may seem to me it is considered illegal and immoral in the eyes of society and its laws and eventually i will have to pay the price for these sins against the powers that be. unless, of course, i can stay one step ahead of the crooked arm of the law.
