Flotsam and jetsam

I.  Is the use of the "bCC" or "blind carbon copy block unethical?  Is it duplicity?

A quick note:  "To" indicates you desire action or attention from the listed person; "Cc" indicates "carbon copy" (from the days when carbon paper was sandwiched between typing sheets to generate copies, and shows that the recipient is not desired to act, but is invited to weigh-in, or added for his own situational awareness.  That brings us to "bCC."

I don't necessarily think bCC is bad.  If you're trying to document something, and want to copy a manager who seeks insight into your activities, or could benefit from subtle reminders of things that should be, but maybe aren't on his radar, then it's o.k.  This would prevent alarming your action ("To") recipient.  However, I resisted the urge to use it for years before I decided it was o.k.

II.  Dogs have feelings.  Dogs admire and love their masters.  Amazing how we pick up on the subtle things they communicate even in their eyes - concern, a need for attention, etc.  Most everyone likes dog talk, but my thought for today is:  "If a 5 year-old thinks he is the center of the universe, a dog probably does too.  But this doesn't last forever for the 5 year-old.  So when we graduate from that kind of thinking and view ourselves as relative to everyone else, and realize that we're not at the center, and control so little, then at that point isn't it a good time to reflect and acknowledge the supremacy of God?

III. I am starting to feel guilty when I go out for chicken wings.  Or turkey legs, delicious in a traditional snowladen outdoor bbq.  A lot of fowl passed away to provide your meal (count up them wings when you're done at the table - 'Oh, the humanity!').  I do love my bbq'd turkey, though.
