Never lose sight of the fact that no-one's hands are clean. Animals

killed in every type of food production, not to mention in the

And the deaths and suffering of humans has also contributed to
our comfort, longevity and quality of life.

That's a red herring, the topic under discussion in this newsgroup is
specifically animals that die serving human needs. Your attempt to cloud
the issue is noted, but I've seen it before.

It is all a matter of degree -- something which Rick Etter and Jon
Ball cannot grasp.

What degree are you talking about? Please don't be vague.

It's a cheap rush to single out and point fingers at others.

That's right.

Glad you admit it.

Like the way assholes point fingers at animal rights
activists,

No, I point out your fallacious thinking because I hope to help you, I
don't get a feeling of moral superiority out if it. I think you're in
the grip of a mind-virus.

or environmental activists, or communists, or liberals,
or feminists, or criminals or extremists
or any other group of individuals for the assholes' or society's
troubles and woes.

It's true that self-righteousness is a widespread disease, but ARAs have
a particular version of it that is relevant in this discussion.
