I KNEW it! ;-) You're a male parrot, aren't you, Mad Polly? Don't you get absolutely fed up with being offered "a cracker" all the time by ignorant, bigoted people? Most parrots I know get positively sick of hearing people say "Polly want a cracker?" over and over again, and I can definitely sympathize with their plight. It's rank stereotyping, it's stupid, it's specist, and we should all join in condemning it utterly and pointing out just how mean it is to denigrate parrots in that fashion.

I will be participating in an anti-prejudice rally in Ottawa this coming weekend. We will collectively express our FROTHING OUTRAGE about the bad treatment of "hosers" (sort of the Canadian version of "chavs"), gays, people who aren't absolutely gorgeous, short people, dimensionally larger than average people (they used to be called "f-t" but DON'T SAY IT!), pigmentally challenged people of various hues, people who just don't look like our personal favorite type of people look, AND PARROTS!!!

I can't wait to express my outrage over all this thoughtless prejudice and stereotyping. Positively chafing at the bit here. I need to VENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-) I get a warm glow inside thinking of all the good this upcoming rally will do. You betcha!
