What if?

This is a female German Shepherd named Hannah. She's with the Lynchburg Humane Society and she has heartworms. I'm going to take her into Virginia German Shepherd Rescue and get her treated. The new director of LHS asked me to take Hannah because they don't have funds to treat her.

Lynchburg isn't far from Charlottesville, but it's an area I avoid like the plague. It's the home of Jerry Falwell and his Liberty University. The answer to every question on every test at Liberty is "Jesus did it," so anyone who graduates from there has a degree that's not quite worth the paper it's printed on. Falwell is recently deceased and was bured somewhere on the grounds at the Liberty clown college. I do plan to make the trip down there one of these days to piss on his grave.

I have driven through Lynchburg when it was impossible to avoid and it is nothing but wall-to-wall southern baptist cult buildings. I have to wonder how life might have been different for Hannah if Falwell had spent his life promoting responsible dog ownership instead of spreading hate and operating as the propoganda arm of the RNC. Even if he had used his ability as huckster to sell used cars, vacuum cleaners, or hair tonic, at least the damaging effects would have been limited to gullible people in a much smaller area.

If there's a god in heaven, Jerry Falwell is burning in hell where he belongs. Hannah is lucky to be getting out of Lynchburg. I'll find her a good home when she's healthy; southern baptists need not apply.
