Ok, a little preachy, but I am not one to pass up the opportunity to pick up the gauntlet when challenged...

But I have to ask you first...

OK.
The good thing about the AAS is that it is free, online. They do allow public comments after most of their articles and editorials. I don't know where they stand financially, but there have been rumblings about them selling.
They just seem to be so liberal in their stances when editorializing.

Sorry, I should have completed that thought...

If I had a bird, I would use it as cage liner...After I read all the restaurant reviews and cool Texas stuff I wish I could buy...
