    Hummmmmm

    Are Douglas Moran and I the only ones who picked up the Hummer reference? For all sorts of medical reasons I need to get my protein from animals, but even if I didn't I'd still be a meat eater. It may be a vice but it's my vice (much like PETA's need for a Hummer). I accept the fact that I am part of the problem and will be until the smoke clears from my cremation. That doesn't excuse me from trying to make a differance BUT it does excuse me from self righteous indignation.
