ONE HAS TO QUESTION JUDGEMENT

Wednesday, June 08, 2005

Growing up, no one had as tender a heart towards animals as I did. I rescued MANY in my day, and safely I might add. Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but is there possibly something wrong with society and its judgement when things like this happen? FOXNews.com - U.S. & World - Six-Year-Old Girl Killed Trying to Save Turtle: "Emily Kent (search) was riding with her mother Sunday when they spotted the turtle trying to cross busy U.S. 41. Geraldine Kent pulled over so they could help, and Emily jumped out as her mother screamed at her to wait, friends said. The first-grader was struck by a car and died of her injuries. No charges had been filed."

"Snipet" (pronounced: snipe - it) is not a word.It is a derivative of two words: "Snipe" and "Snippet".

Miriam Webster defines Snipe as: to aim a carping or snide attack, or: to shoot at exposed individuals (as of an enemy's forces) from a usually concealed point of vantage.

Miriam Webster defines Snippet as: : a small part, piece, or thing; especially : a brief quotable passage.

In short, "Snipets" are brief, snide shots at exposed situations from a concealed vantage point.
