Barn Door  Once upon a time there was a kingdom of horse lovers.  The kingdom was called Horslaff.  It had a king, of course, but real power was divided among a swelter of bickering barons, who couldn't seem to agree on anything, except their love of horses.

The Tooth Trade  I must first acknowledge that I sympathize with the anti-trade activists.  I admire their heart and their good intentions.  It is their case that is, ultimately, unsound.  I will explain.
