Which End Of The Leash

Gen LaGreca has a question: "Which end of the leash do you prefer?"
Because my dog is less than human, he wants and needs the security of a leash and master. Granted his nature, the one thing my dog does not need is liberty.

What about us and our nature? Throughout history people have had their human potential choked off by a leash that autocratic rulers placed around their necks. The first country to set the individual free and to put the government on a leash was America.
As for me, I holler
when they fit me for a collar.
