However your post piqued my interest. Do not the phrases "exist for their own reasons" and "were not made for" contradict each other by presenting diametrically opposed views of the world? |

I have a book called "303 of the World's Worst Predictions" by Wayne Coffey. According to him, in 1958, Thomas J. Watson of IBM said "I think there is a world market for about five computers." Sure am glad he was wrong. _____ Lori If we are what we eat, and animals are too, then the pig I'm smoking today is really corn, right? That would make me an indirect vegitarian. |

I would find an ethicist much more persuasive from the standpoint of qualifications than I would Alice Walker. But to dismiss her as unqualified to speak on the subject of ethics because she is a "feminist writer" strikes me as an unsupportable position. -- Kevin S.

My statement was, "She isn't qualified to proclaim animals are not for food". Maybe it wasn't perceived the way it was intended. IBwhatshername quoted Alice Walker's poem. Without authority, the proclamation is meaningless to those with opposing opinions. Okay, go ahead and pick this one apart too. |
