Not only are you ignorant, but you militantly cling to that ignorance in the face of the facts. You accuse me of paranoia, but I never said that you're not supposed to have dogs. Sounds like YOU'RE a bit paranoid to me.
Oh, and you want to post some dog/kid pictures? Here are a few for you

I could post pictures from car crashes...would that justify banning cars? How many die from drunk drivers - does that mean we need prohibition?
Yes, there are stupid people, and there are also mean dogs. And stupid people are more likely to own mean dogs.
There are also millions of good dogs and dog owners, raising millions of happy kids in constant contact with dogs. I have 50+ years of living with dogs with no injuries of me or of anyone who has ever met us. It isn’t hard. And if I were inclined to take pictures, I’d have a thousand of kids playing with dogs - all without anyone ever being hurt. Deal with it, and stop supporting and promoting people like (from your link):
“Kenneth M. Phillips is the only attorney in the USA who does nothing other than represent people who have been seriously injured by dogs. Widely recognized as the nation’s leading authority on dog bite law, he has earned tens of millions of dollars for dog bite victims all over the USA.”
Now THAT is an unbiased source...
As for what you said, let’s go to the tape:
“I have to ask, Why is it so important to have a dog? You apparently are an intelligent person, and are well aware that dogs are dangerous and can hurt your children. To me one child is worth a million dogs. Why put any child at risk? Dogs killing children is not common, but dogs injuring children severely enough to require the services of a plastic surgeos is a very common event.”
I do not want to see people walking their pits or their rotties thru a residential area...especially AFTER a neighbor has been attacked. (She was very foolish...she did NOT report it to the police, putting others at risk.)
People walk labs and such around town...I don't worry about them.
