On "Karens" and "Service Animals"

1) I'd go even further than Walsh on the issue of morons bringing their animals where animals don't belong -- I'd confiscate the animals and "put them down";

Last year, as I was entering a "farm and fleet" type store, some self-centered idiot was bringing his dog into the store. Or, to be more precise, the dog was *dragging* the fellow toward the door. I don't recall the breed, but it was one of those ugly ones which are disproportionately in the news. Anyway, a few minutes later, the dog had pissed all over the floor. The owner at least had the (uncommon for his type) decency to stand there until it was cleaned, lest someone not notice it and slip.

2) There are at least two types of (generally white) women commonly being called "Karens":
2a) Obnoxious and self-centered women who are demanding that the world revolve around themselves;
2b) Women who are trying to confront/correct the behavior of obnoxious and self-centered people who are demanding that the world revolve around themselves, who then falsely call the woman a "Karen".

3) Walsh is pretending that all women accused of being a "Karen" fall into the second category;

4) Walsh is correct that "Karen" was a racial slur invented by (jealous) black (women) to mock white women. But, so what? It *also* identifies a recognizable personality-type, much like "Chad/Tyrone" and "Shaniqua" do.

5) On the ADA being mostly a piece of garbage -- it is, indeed. Like *all* such laws, it necessarily creates opportunities for graft and/or scam, and the abuses of such a law *always* quickly overwhelm the few cases the law was intended to rectify. And, of course, it being the nature of bureaucracy, the scope of the law most continually expand.
