Robin Starr, CEO of SPCA kills dog. I don't understand how she can keep her job and feel good about it. Maybe we can get Madoff to run our banks.

The ecconomy being the way it is, it seems to me to put more people to work rather than laying them off would have more people spending, more people working and bring in more revenue and tax money and make the ecconomy better.
