Dear Jim: I certainly agree with your statement. Let's ask these
people like Geoff, just who and what they are, what gives them the
right to tear apart whole industries to satisfy their own predilections
to destroy the livelihoods of those who provide them the very
necessities of life?

The right to protect myself, my family, friends and the planet is
written in my conscience. Just as it's your choice to do the opposite.

Considering that there are more meat eaters in this country that veggies,
can you please explain to me, why, if the meat industry is 'poisoning the
public', the public in general are living a lot longer and as proof, the
pensionable age is to be raised because of the shortfall in pension funds?

Thank you

70 and going strong :-))


hate to say it Mike but you are asking them to justify a deeply held
religious belief, and they find it difficult to do, especially when you look
at their evidence and it doesn't stand up

The logic some people use for not attending church, is used to avoid washing

1.I was forced to as a child.
2.People who make soap are only after your money.
3.I wash on special occasions like Christmas and Easter.
4.People who wash are hypocrites-they think they are cleaner than everyone else.
5.There are so many different kinds of soap,I can't decide which one is best.
6.I used to wash, but it got boring so I stopped.
7.None of my friends wash.
8.The bathroom is never warm enough in the winter or cool enough in the summer.
9.I'll start washing when I get older and dirtier.
10.I can't spare the time .
