Many people confuse older styles of circular intersections with modern roundabouts. East coast…Read More rotaries, large multi-lane traffic circles (Arc D’Triumph), and neighborhood traffic circles are not modern roundabouts. If you want to see the difference between a traffic circle, a rotary (UK roundabout) and a modern roundabout (UK continental roundabout), go to http://tinyurl.com/kstate-RAB to see pictures. And here’s another site that shows the difference between an older rotary and a modern roundabout: http://tinyurl.com/bzf7qmg
The FHWA (http://tinyurl.com/fhwaRAB) has a video about modern roundabouts that is mostly accurate (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhHzly_6lWM ).

Walking home from church this evening a young woman's German Shepherd lunged at my wife and me,…Read More growling fiercely. I was afraid for a second the owner would lose control of it. Our 'pit bull', fearsome *looking* as she is, would *never* do that to anyone. Every human is her friend in her mind, though she knows she has to be specially polite with new friends, and extra slow and gentle with little friends (kids). To me it's always like entering the Twilight Zone when the 'pit bull' haters on the web get going with their ridiculous broad brush statements. In the real world all kinds of dogs can have human aggression problems, and it's *always* about the owners. For example in the case tonight, I doubt this apparently middle class 'respectable' young lady *trained* her German Shepherd to be that way; it's a low crime urban area and even if it weren't human aggressive dogs are a *very* dubious way of defending oneself IMO. But whatever the origin of that dog's behavior, the owner needs to get *immediate* professional training help to reverse it. But I wonder if she will. And unfortunately a certain class of very irresponsible owners are specially attracted to 'pit bulls', people who don't see anything wrong with dog behavior like that, or *do* encourage or even explicitly train dogs to be that way. But the idea that it's inherent to just one vague category of dog ('pit bull' isn't even a breed) is just nonsense.

If pit bulls aren't "human aggressive," why were they responsible for 65% of the…Read More deaths-by-dog in the US last year and 100% of such deaths so far this year? In recent years, pit bulls have dismembered and/or scalped several adults (and even more children) in the US. Name another breed/type dog that has dismembered or scalped an adult in the US in recent years. Want to see what a pit bull can do to a child in two minutes? Google "Amaya Hess" and look at the once-beautiful little girl turned into a one-eyed monster by the "BEST dog out of all dogs."

Pete Sparks was called the “dean of Florida pit bull breeders” and he measured a…Read More puppy’s value by its fighting spirit and the power in its jaws. In Sparks’ own words, “If he [the pit bull] can’t punish the other dog, and he doesn’t have the biting power, then he’s not going to be what you call a top dog.” Florida Humane Society officials blamed Sparks, along with other pit bull breeders in Florida, for vicious attacks by pit bulls on humans, and animals. Marc Paulhus, director of the Tallahassee office of the Human Society of the United States, said “Mr. Sparks really is the problem, he and people like him. For many years, he was perhaps the most visible advocate of dog-fighting in this country.” Paulhus said most of the pit bulls which have attacked people in Florida are descendants of fighters bred by Sparks. “If a pit bull attacks you,” Paulhus said, “he’s going to do damage, severe damage.” While Sparks denied breeding human-aggressive pit bulls, he conceded, “There are screwballs and some of these dogs are emotionally unstable.”
Today’s pit bulls are descended from dogs bred for their "fighting spirit" and the “power in their jaws” and no one knows if their pit bull is descended from a “screwball” or “emotionally unstable” dog.
