- I can really appreciate someone taking care of their body and wanting
- to eat healthy eg. vegetarian. I can see the advantages of eating
- organically grown produce. I can see the medicinal purposes of herbs
-
- I don't agree with the medical industry that wants to slice and dice
- each new victim who enters its system ( sometimes it is warranted )
-
- I find no delight in the pharmaceutical industry that pumps the people
- of the world with any combination of chemicals they can produce.
-
- The destruction of the earth's atomosphere should have been stop years
- ago.
-
- I can feel for the dog or cat which was just run over by a speeding
- motorist.
-
- I was sadden by my visit to a kill floor in a slaughter house.
- (They could have probably handled it a little more professionally).
-
- I'm not in favour of trophy hunting and or English fox hunts.
-
- What make SOME vegetarian go off on Pseudo-religious tangents looking
- for gurus who can reveal the scriptures in a light never seen before
- (possibly not even by God). Is it the desire to attract attention.
-
- Why do some insist if you cook your carrots wrong you will be
- reincarnated as one?
- Maybe they need a reason to eat healthly, like a law " Don't eat white
- rice or it's 3 years of wild rice farming".
-
- Every hear of the story of the emperor clothes? Maybe they think
- they have to prove they are right, so they have to come up with
- stories and dogma, instead of letting their healthly appearance
- stand as a witness to world.
-
- I personally hate fanatics who don't have a balance, double for
- religious idiots who read anything they want into something they
- no nothing about, triple for religious idiots with degrees who quote
- obscure chucks of scripture then "interpret" them to say something they
- don't.
