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!

Nobody is entitled to a reward for returning lost money, you opportunist.

Encouraging responsible pot use to a pot user probably *adds* years to their

You haven't found a single instance where I have been mistaken yet, but you

Complicity is a natural principle that is found in logic, morality, law, in
some form in most every discipline. That it may be unevenly applied in laws
or elsewhere should come as no surprise, human social constructs are
imperfect.
