Oh, that's rich! I can imagine the police trying to arrest a couple of squirrels mating on the town green. Or the pigeons that relieve themselves regularly everywhere in public. I guess nobody is allowed to walk their dog "in public"? HA HA HA HA HA !!! Oh, that’s rich!

Having driven through rural Oklahoma a few times, I'm surprised that the people there don't have a more laid back take on things like this. It was like Amsterdam's red light district for cows, at least the parts I drove through. Love the spunky comment by the goats’ owner.

What is the definition of "Atheist"? I'm not trying to be clever, I'm genuinely curious how that list was compiled. And I will go so far as to say that I am MORE appalled that a list of "alleged atheists" is newsworthy. “I am slightly, and only slightly, more appalled by the Alleged Celebrity Atheist slide show linked at the bottom of the page.”

I have to say that not *All* of us Oklahomans are as backwards as we appear. Second, I believe there is a daycare in the Dibble High School, but no sex education courses. Also, I think it's still legal for humans to relieve themselves in public, only after having had sex on the lawn... Okay. I have to say that not *All* of us Oklahomans are as backwards as we appear.

The neighbors had apparently been bickering over it for some time. The neighbor found an old law that was created as the city was expanding. Kind of a 'Please keep your cattle out of Main St.' The lady lives out in the middle of nowhere, but a more recent law puts her just within city limits. Hence the ticket. Kind of a jerk thing to do, in my opinion...not that I approve of goat procreation in my front yard either. I heard about this at work a few days ago(I’m from Oklahoma).
