Yes, on sanet, especially, one mustn't stray far from it.
Your comment was actually very astute. And it certainly explains how
and why I originally got to be where I am.

I myself would say that anyone who intends to raise hogs certainly
intends to eat meat, also. And I am neither criticizing anyone nor
evangelizing today, but *have* observed two things of interest:
1).- Most animals (particularly farm animals) that eat meat also eat
excrement (i.e., dogs, pigs and chickens); and
2).- Herbivores tend to live longer and smell better than carnivores.
On the other hand, I know a woman who never forgave her husband (a
judge, yet) for preferring sows - she felt very insulted. His
preference had something to do with the higher porcine body
temperature, I believe. (I am not making this up).
However, each to his own and I'm all for freedom of choice. How nice
that we all agree about some things - except Dale.
And happy holidays (Dale too).
