I guess Holsteins rank below Black Angus on the BIS ("Bovine Intelligence Scale"). I'm fond of a nice, medium rare, Black Angus steak. You've heard, have you not, that the most recent case of BSE in Canduh?

"How cruel you are. Moooo." Have you converted? Seems granny isn't anti-religion after all. ;-) Disciples of 21st-century Gaia believe that all living things on earth are interconnected (except man) and that to damage or destroy even the tiniest insect is the equivalent of wiping out an entire ecological system. In layman understanding: Don’t swat that fly hovering around the pablum you’re feeding the baby. Former Vice President Al Gore could be the most recognized disciple of Gaia. But even though he touted the organized environmental religion in his 1992 book, Earth In The the Balance, Tipper’s hubby’s got nothing on Gaia disciple Jose Arguelles, PAN promoter and leader of New Age Transformation. Arguelles advocates that Mother Earth is a living, spiritual being that can actually feel pain. Members who want to feel what it’s like in Gaia, he says, can always tune in to the crystal matrix frequency (Mother Earth’s heartbeat) and "chill out". If you just can’t relate to Mother Earth, you might be more in synch with her first-born son, Pan. Something of a Mama’s Boy, Pan used to live close to his mother in the primeval forest. There were siblings, but they went out and founded the temple-building societies, like the Egyptians, Aztecs, etc. Pan was more a country boy than a city one, so when he refused to join the family in urban centers, they called him names like Satan and insisted Pan was evil. Finally, without Pan, they created their own "selfish" religion, Christianity, which much be eradicated because it includes a vision of an Apocalypse. In modern times, Mother Earth is bringing Pan back to save us and lead us into the New Age. Pan fanciers should know that he still comes in the form of a half-man, half-beast and is only distinguished from Mama by his cloven hooves. Unfortunately, Arguelles, lifetime peace activist and founder of Earth Day, is not trying to be a modern-day Hans Christian Andersen, but is the passionate leader of an about to be new, taxpayer-funded green religion.
