Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

(In fairness, PETA does also do a lot of the undercover slaughterhouse videos. Some of them have uncovered slaughterhouses breaking either the cruelty or safety laws, generally with things like killing downed cows. Law says that if a cow is too sick to stand on its own, then it's too sick to be part of the food supply, but several PETA videos have shown slaughterhouse workers literally pulling cows to their feet and holding them up standing to count as "able to stand," and then killing them for meat. Which is generally the low-grade meat that goes to the government programs, which means either school lunches or prison food.)

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I've read a number of similar dating ideas on vegan blogs -- usually recent converts who have gone from omnivore to vegan in less than 30 seconds. often they are peta members

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

he said that, as a Christian, he feels that he's got divine protection.

If my childhood Methodist minister was right, there's a bunch of early church martyrs snickering in heaven right now.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Not to mention Christianity.

Oh yeah - I was mentally including them too. (Focus on the Family, The Catholic League, etc)

I vote we start a movement called SANE PEOPLE FOR RATIONAL COMPROMISE and start standing on streetcorners drawing people into sensible and reasoned debates. Think it'll catch on?

Yes, but tasteful.

Since I was just being amused that how to make an Old-Fashioned [link] can cause people to propose settling the argument with swords at dawn, I think you've got your work cut out for you.

already a member. Despite that fact that others think I am betraying the 'cause' by seeing a compromise as a stop on the road to sanity.

The perfect symbol of compromise.
