I had thought, for quite a while, about becoming a vegetarian. Still do, occasionally.
However, the borderline-insanity intolerant and demanding preaching of militant vegans has evoked in me the same reaction that militant atheists used to have toward religion, before their cause became archaic and passe.
Throwing off one’s own “chains” (Thank you, Albert) is fine…but to yell at other people to demand that they do likewise serves no logical or useful purpose. It merely alienates them and, if anything, pushes them away from your cause. Which is why I find true believers (or non-believers) infinitely preferable to crusaders of any kind – only an emotional coward (Thank you, DD) would change their beliefs because someone else TOLD them to. And, as long as any individual is doing no harm with their beliefs – or lack thereof – to mock, insult, yell at, etc…them simply because you feel you are “right” is childish and petty. And a thorough waste of time.
Well…I appear to have gotten a little off topic there, but…no harm done.
I like the taste of meat. I’m an omnivore. Therefore, I will keep eating it. If you don’t like that…WTF do I care?
Just add “Militant Vegans” to the list of unwelcome site visitors. Thank you.
