Proposed scheme exploitative of dogs
Dear Fellow Dog-lovers,
The proposal is nothing short of an abomination. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/dogpower I had heard someone talking about this at work once, and I think it's the most horrendously cruel idea imaginable to utilize dogs in such a way that I don't know what dog would not be considered a "working dog." This is madness and displays the moral rot of our arrogant species. I hope that every dog lover opposes this flagrant mis-use of animals. We might have them in our homes, but that doesn't mean that they serve our every whim. I see now that the attempt is to petition governmental institutions to enact such exploitative scheme and by mere mandate alter humankind's relationship with dogs. THIS IS WRONG!! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/dogpower I hope you will join me in expressing your outrage and stern opposition to this and/or any like proposal. J. Rozales |

We could solve America's childhood obesity problem in one swell foop. And after that, we could work on making handcrank-powered cell phones. Kathleen |

When I worked in the gaming industry I had suggested that we power our own computers that way. Not a lot of agreement was to be had.

Not a bad troll, as these things go, but a little too obvious. I'm
sorry, the judges can award no points this round. Better luck next time. |

He also posted this link to a short-wave radio groups as a recommended source of power. HarCo could make a much better one, anyhow. We estimate a power output 10x the original design, with the simple addition of 1 cat (patent pending). |
