I know that I cannot see a lot of videos from my work because they are blocked by the technopolice. I don't know where you're trying to watch it from.RRRRRRRRR
I like stories like that where someone perseveres, and where the powers that be don't get on such a high horse that they can't do something that's entirely reasonable.

A little boy (Note: he is 10 yrs old) fell in love with Sonic the Hedgehog and decided that he wanted a real one. The city he lives has a ban on them. So he and his mom did three years of research on Hedgehogs to try and find out why the were illegal in their city. The boy wrote a letter to city commissioners and was invited to share his research and plead his case. Turns out that the commissioners could not find a real reason why they were banned so the boy won and got his hedgehog for Christmas....:clap:RRRRRRRRR

The freedom fighters for ferrets in California have been spreading this story like wildfire. Gives us hope that change CAN happen. Since I've moved to Texas, I saw my first hedgehog and fell in love. My hubby bought her for me for Christmas, and I have to say that she is one of the most delightful pets I've ever owned!!
