Vegan (alt.food.vegan) This newsgroup exists to share ideas and issues of concern among vegans. We are always happy to share our recipes- perhaps especially with omnivores who are simply curious- or even better, accomodating a vegan guest for a meal!

The key to the false sense of responsibility is the use of the word
"cause". I don't cause anyone to do anything. They cause themselves to
do it. I cause myself to type this response. I could attribute
responsibility for my current action of typing to you, however and
ultimately, it is my choice to respond. It is a nicer world though if I
don't have to accept responsibility for my choice to type and that I can
blame you for my actions. Likewise, it is a nicer world if I can blame
myself for your actions and experience a sense of power and control in
the world.

Logic indeed. Now where did you learn that I must do all to avoid
anything or to stop something that I perceive as "wrong". At its face,
this is impractical and illogical. If I think that A, B and C are wrong,
it is impossible for me to work against A, B, and C at the same time. If
I think murder, mugging and rape are all wrong then it is an
impossibility for me to do all, or to stop each of these three things. A
human is limited by the physical reality of the universe. Logic does not
conform to the physical requirements of the physical world. I cannot
physically be stopping a murder in one location, stopping mugging on a
downtown street and preventing the rape of another at another location.

I have established your hypocrisy though. You've stated the vegan must
act in all ways against what they believe is wrong. That you have a few
minutes to communicate with means that you must not think sodomizing
children is wrong. Or, have I misunderstood and you think sodomizing
children is right and therefore your "moral obligation" is non-existent.

Please answer, Rick. Is sodomizing children wrong? And have you done
everything conceivable to stop it?

Well, thank you for the free advertising.

I made them do it. I made them kill. I made them kill collaterally. It's
all my doing. They are just my pawns. I am the MAN.

Oh, just kiss me. These attempts at foreplay are tiresome.
