The value of an animal
or
Evolving ethics and mobthought

Grainne isn't trading against herself. Her belief is simply and clearly stated, anyone who kills animals is a murderer. This is in fact a perfectly defensible stance that only requires a commitment of belief, she certainly doesn't need my defense, she is right there and hasn't even banned you, she believes in freedom of thought I might add. If you don't agree with her belief that is your right.
It bothers you that she values all life ?
It bothers you that she believes we are all animals and all have equality in her mind ?
It bothers you that the future of our race might depend on understanding the simple truth of her belief ?
Take it up with Jorj, he thinks I have the animal thing all wrong as well and that he is in the right. He is asserting that humans are animals just like any other. He agrees with Leonard Nimoy, Gene Rodenberry and myself I might add, that humans have no special value. I am sure he would fully support someone who simply and obviously stated her belief in the equality of men and animals and stuck to her guns despite being mobbed by a group that was acting in concert, a mobthought driven group of morons I might add.

You and Carolyn look quite nice up there on the sacred cow. I have another saddle that actually fits on a sacred cow if you would like to buy it ? The danger in pretending to live here is that you may have to trade against yourself. Those of us who do actually live here rarely face that dilemma and when we do we are actually changed, shedding real tears.

Anyways, I will be most interested in watching you and Jorj and Mr. Spock sort it all out. I was thinking of warning Mr., Spock that he might be in some serious danger but I am sure he can take care of himself. here is your link lady, attack away...
