Heads up - the extinction agenda
[Read the article: Earth to PETA]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I have talked to the folks handing out anti-meat literature and when I point out that these animals would not lilkely survive in the wild, they require our care and that if we didn't eat them there would be no profit or incentive in their care, they say fine.
Let them go extinct.
No problem with that.
As for PETA, animals shouldn't eat meat either. If someone hands a pet snake over to them, they just let it starve to death. Heaven forbid that a mouse or rat die.
They do not understand nature or life. Probably because they are malnourished to the point of suffering cogntive difficulties. A vegan diet that provides the proper nutrition requires knowledge and effort far beyond that of most folks.
All animals die anyway. We are the only species that take great pains to make sure no other animal may partake of and recycle our precious bodily proteins, fat, bone and gristle. There are also far worse ways to die than becoming food for a predator.
We do eat far too much meat and we suffer the consequences of that, but extinction of domesticated food animals is not acceptable. That is what they are putting on the table.
I am less worried about people predating on domseticated animals than I am worried about corporations predating on domesticated primates - US. When cattle farmers want to make the cattle fat, they feed them corn. When corporations want to make people fat, they give them high fructose corn sweetners. At least the cattle get slaughtered before it make them sick. People don't get that consideration.
YO! Pepsi and Coca-Cola! My brain and body crave glucose, not fructose. No wonder people aren't thinking straight. What are they fattening US up for?
SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!
TO SERVE MAN.
Life is a banquet and we are all on the menu.
Now Thanksgiving is coming up so everyone eat that turkey, especially vegans. We all can use a little tryptophan once in a while. It sure beats the alternatives.

Projecting
[Read the article: My wife thinks I'm cheating on her -- but I'm not!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]She is cheating on you. She is projecting her fault onto you.
That makes it all better.
You can tell a lot about a person by what they assume you are doing or by what they assume you are, esespecially when they are dead wrong. It is how people reveal themselves to others. They seldom reveal themselves to themselves.
I wouldn't sweat it. People cheat on each other. As long as she doens't make you pay for her cheating or rub it in your face, you are better off than most.
Keep in mind that when men cheat, they are horrible monsters, but when women cheat it is liberating and defining themselves as not being under their man's thumb or otherwise oppressed so you cannot blame them. When men cheat, it is the man's fault, when women cheat, it is the man's fault. If you cheat to get payback, that just plays into the game and you will regret it.
You might want to research the sexual habits of other great apes to get a clue as to what lies beneath the artificially imposed moralities of culture, society and religion.
Now as the venom rises and the fangs are drawn outwards, I conclude by stating that in the grand scheme of things women are far more important than men are and the attention and protection afforded through the sexual, and more importantly, social contract has to be scewed towards women because that insures the survival of the species. Women need others more than men do.
When you are at war, you might not come home. It's called hedging your bets.
Patriarchy and all that it entails was implemented to counter a natural scew and the insecurities that men face as they are less adept at social networking and communication while being mroe adept at objects, things and projects such as the hunt or war.
A generalisation is that our intelligences are equal, just focused on different objects, goals and targets.
Take it easy ladies and please calm down.

Carey's advice
[Read the article: My wife thinks I'm cheating on her -- but I'm not!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]That puts it all on you. You will be driven mad by following his advice. Ignore it. Either ignore your wife's outbursts and just focus on dealing with her with positives and attention (what she really needs and wants) and if that doesn't work ask her if she wants a divorce, tell her that you love her, but her happiness is that important to you. If you make her feel that way and you love her, you are willing to let her go.
You win by surrendering.
Being single is a pretty sweet alternative.
I've been single for 9 years and wouldn't go back for anything and I still love her dearly.
You can't fight city hall and you can't fight the one you love.

No conservatives, no liberals
[Read the article: How Bush wrecked conservatism]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Fascists are neither conservative or liberal.
Barry Goldwater was a conservative and Richard Nixon was a liberal.
Both would be unwelcome in either party now.
The terms conservative and liberal are now rendered meaningless with all the political weight of one football team's brand label against another football team's brand label.
My team versus their team! Both teams are just playing football. No ideology is involved in that.
