Apes get rights in Spain : Comments

By Michael Cook, published 21/7/2008

The Spanish Left meets 'Animal Farm': apparently the more intelligent and aware an animal is, the more deserving of basic rights it is.

Polycarp, overgoverning cuts both ways, for both the right and the left. Once upon a time, small government was the favoured slogan of the conservatives but it's become quite evident that economic policy and social policy have only the most tenuous relationship.

I'd like to see genuinely small government in both laws regarding social policy, and economic.

Most conservatives are quite content to see big government, provided it's making laws restricting things like same-sex civil unions and abortions.

Funny that. Would you be saying the same thing if this article was about the stupidity of making extra laws governing marriage and sexual practices?

I suspect not.
