But it is absolutley brilliant.
My friends who told me about it described it almost exactly as you have,I will most definitely be seeing it soon.

--The whole concept of government granted and government regulated 'permits' and the accompanying government mandate for government approved firearms 'training' prior to being blessed by government with the privilege to carry arms in a government approved and regulated manner, flies directly in the face of the fundamental right to keep and bear arms.

I've never had a dog as a pet.
I've seen "old yeller" and it didn't make me tear up - many tears or girlyman crying. It died. Pets do that. It kinda went mad and all first, but rabies does that.
Fry's dog likewise.
I don't get the crying over dead pets thing.
I had a pet cat for 17 years. Even when I found his body one morning before work (stiff as a board) I didn't cry. I had him from a 3 week old kitten. He was a good cat, self reliant, proud, aloof - all good cat things. He died, I moved on.

That's because you had a cat.
Cats are parasites. Science has proved it.
Cats actually have been known to imitate the sounds that a human baby would make, just because those specific sounds trigger a natural emotional response(nurturing) in human beings.
Dogs are fuzzy, wuzzy, and cuddly.
Cats are evil, vicious, and almost as bad at sucking the life from you as my ex.
And that's why I have a dog.

In the case of Fry's dog, it isn't the pet aspect that makes it sad. Imagine it is a friend that never gave up hope that you would return if you disappeared, knowing full well you would never return.

That's the thing.
I don't think I can.
That kind of selfless devotion seems somewhat counterproductive to me. I'm sure there are creatures out there like this (it takes all kinds, right?) but I can't imagine them or even empathise without a common frame of reference and I can't see one.

I have a friend with shirt that reads 'When you die your cat will eat you'. I have no idea if its true but its pretty funny.

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

I can count my close friends on one hand (I don't make friends easily). Several friends who would worry about me. They would even be concerned enough to intervene if necessary. We would do it for each other. It's not a selfless thing though. It's a group thing. We are more than the sum of us.
None who would simply wait for me. Hoping I come back.
Maybe they would, I don't know. I'm not really into the assigning of motives to their (potential) actions.
If I disappeared mysteriously, they would be concerned, but they wouldn't mope and wait for me. They would act, or move on.
We aren't ones for focussing on the negatives. It's done, get over it, move on.
We all share a common bond. We all found a friend's body after he killed himself (he lived upstairs from our local games store and worked in the shop).
He had arranged it so that no-one could stop him.
There was nothing we could do about it. He made his choice, we moved on.
There might also be the issue that most of my school friends had killed themselves before I was 19. Small wonder I don't make friends easily.

You remind of that scene in A Bug's Life where the main character, Flick, is trying to explain something to the younger ant, Dot:
Flick: Ok, now imagine this rock is a seed...
Dot: But it is a rock
Flick: Yes I know, but I want you to imagine it is a seed...
Dot: But it's a rock

And so, due to rising costs of maintaining the Golden Throne, the Emperor's finest accountants spoke to the Demigurg. A deal was forged in blood and extensive paperwork for a sub-prime mortgage with a 5/1 ARM on the Imperial Palace. And lo, in the following years the housing market did tumble and the rate skyrocketed leaving the Emperor's coffers bare. A dark time has begun for the Imperium, the tithes can not keep up with the balloon payments and the Imperial Palace and its contents, including the Golden Throne, have fallen into foreclosure. With an impending auction on the horizon mankind holds its breath as it waits to see who will gain possession of the corpse-god and thus, the fate of humanity...... |
