Christine:

"I do think that any movement which conserves the earth's resources, causes less pollution, and does not hurt animals, however, is a good thing."

NONSENSE. Controlling pollution requires more sophisticated technology, not LESS technology. Conserving the earth's resources is a non-issue because we'll get most resources from space (the solar syatem) as we head further into the next Century.

Hurting animals is a good thing -- it keeps us at the top of the food chain -- which is where we must remain if we intend to stay the dominant species in this sector of space.

"Who gave us all permission to eat other animals, anyway? It seems a little savage to me."

The dominant species gives themselves permission. There is a farmer in England who thinks we shouldn't eat plants. He sleeps in his corn and barley field every night. He talks to "them". If we listened to all these kooks we'd all starve ourselves to death. Of course there are those who would say that the elimination of the human race would be the best thing to happen to the planet. Wish I had 'em aboard a spaceship -- they'd be out the airlock without a suit pronto!
