	<title>Power of Suggestion</title>

This is my #3 for last night.
3. Minatures are cool.  Like G.I. Joe or scale models.  But miniature animals don&#8217;t seem like good stewardship of the &#8220;beasts of the field.&#8221; It seems like playing God.  And it&#8217;s creepy, like stuffing your pets and displaying them at home.
