It only helped to show that you aren't very astute, and you're probably too contaminated by notions of political correctness ever to learn. "Diet for a Small Planet" IS INDEED an expression of leftist political thinking. So is "veganism". If someone tells me he's "vegan", I know EVERYTHING about his politics; there's nothing concealed. By this chap's comical worldview, two-thirds of the population of India are lefties, Nope. Indians are not generally "vegan". You don't know your ass from your face. [...] You have next to no evidence that any of those people, historical and contemporary, are "vegan". I suppose quite a few of them were or are vegetarian, though; there's a big difference. Try to say what little you have to say in far fewer words next time, windbag. |

Tell them veggies exhibit fear if you hook one up to a polygraph and
start dicing up his friends. That should make them stop eating altogether. GW |

It may be true, but it's completely beside the point. Hope this helps. The source of any information is relevant to the value of that information. Any info from leftwing, tofu sucking, liberals is rife with their philosophy, is based on fantasy, and is suspect from the outset. But even a stopped clock is correct twice every day. Also "[a]ny info from leftwing, tofu sucking, liberals is rife with their philosophy, is based on fantasy, and is suspect from the outset" reads awfully close to "I am uncomfortable with anything that challenges my present preconceptions and beliefs, so I prefer to argue more about the source than the content." I occasionally come into contact with the couple of outright lunatics we have in our town. Knowing their mental condition, I don't believe anything they say. For similar reasons, I don't believe anything a "leftwing, tofu sucking, liberal" says either without indepently checking it out using reliable sources. "Leftwing, tofu sucking, liberals" simply aren't reliable sources of information, IMHO. And when it comes to deciding what are reliable sources, MHO is the only thing that counts - for me. Fair enough. But in most cases, I'm sure that cognitive dissonance has more to do with it than any well-reasoned and objective concern over the reliability of the source. Jeff |

well... unless you are talking about chicken wings.... I think most chickens are
right winged which makes the right wing larger and more succulent.

Mill. When did he write that & did he mean "conservative" in the same political sense that it's used today? I only ask because it seems that being conservative, rather than innovative, is a good survival strategy for those of us that aren't brilliant. IOW, reliance on the "tried and true" methods seems to be a safer bet than risking the unknown, which tends to have a high failure rate. FWIW, I'm all in favor of _someone_ risking the unknown, but if I were responsible for feeding my wife & kids, I'd rather it were someone _else_. R, Tom Q. These are good points. Obviously he was referring to what was considered conservative in his own time. And its not just the intellectually challenged who end up supporting the "Old Regime", whatever that is at the given time and place. Yes, but the Old Regime now is the New Deal setup FDR and LBJ saddled us with. The so-called "conservatives" aren't. The so-called "liberals" aren't. The words that we use to describe the political factions are exactly ass-backwards from the truth. Nope. The Old Regime are the Reaganites and the large corporations. They have been the peoiple in power for most of the last 150 years. The powerless in general receive no favors by sticking their necks out. If you're living close to the bone, any change can be just enough to send you into personal and familial disaster. Thats why revolutions against repressive regimes and economic systems are so rare. The oppressed have to literally reach the point where they have nothing left to lose. Revolutions usually occur when the lot of the ordinary people is improving. The truly hopeless seldom rebel. Who, by the way,can think of no American government in history that would qualify as "leftist". The New Deal certainly was (unless by "leftist" you mean "communist"). Nope again. FDR didn't propose anything that hadn't been proposed by the Progressive Party which was a spin off from the Republican Party. Most of FDR's reforms were modest compared to the rising leftist popular sentiment at the time. Robert Sturgeon, proud member of the vast right wing conspiracy and the evil gun culture. g.c. |

Don wrote: "Jonathan Ball" wrote Not all leftists are "vegan", but all "vegans" are leftists. Get it, now? Be careful where you paint with that wide brush, you may paint yourself in a corner. Nope. One very articulate and obviously intelligent poster in alt.food.vegan thought he had disproved my contention, because he is a reflexive defender of Republican and conservative orthodoxy, and he said he was "vegan". However, once I induced him to look in on talk.politics.animals and alt.animals.ethics.vegetarian, he realized, and freely admitted, that he had erroneously conflated following a "vegan" diet with BEING a "vegan". He no longer calls himself a "vegan", because he eschews animal products in his diet entirely for health reasons. BTW: Your ASSumption isn't even close. It's spot on. Bring on your *30 political issues*, I double dog dare ya. LOL I don't have a 30 point test, but the following 10 point quiz worked well enough two other times. When I posted this in alt.food.vegan, twice about a year apart, the self-styled "vegans" gave consistently leftwing answers 85% of the time or higher. One of the problems with this particular quiz is, it's possible to disagree with the statement from either leftwing or rightwing perspective. It's important, therefore, to add a few *honest* explanatory words in addtion to your yes/no or agree/disagree answer. State whether or not you're "vegan" or tend to agree with the tenets of "veganism", then answer yes or no, or agree or disagree, along with a short explanation of your answer. 1. Military service should be voluntary. (No draft) 2. Government should not control radio, TV, the press or the Internet. 3. Repeal regulations on sex for consenting adults. 4. Drug laws do more harm than good. Repeal them. 5. People should be free to come and go across borders; to live and work where they choose. 6. Businesses and farms should operate without govt. subsidies. 7. People are better off with free trade than with tariffs. 8. Minimum wage laws cause unemployment. Repeal them. 9. End taxes. Pay for services with user fees. 10. All foreign aid should be privately funded. |

No, you flunked miserably: you didn't explain your answers, and your statement that you're not a "vegan" is inadequate if not an outright lie: As a vegetarian household we're making among other things baked "nut balls" for which the main ingredients are eight kinds of chopped nuts (walnut, filbert, cashew, pecan, &c), bread, spices, mozerella, grated vegies, & egg to hold it together. We're additionally making some little tiny ones so that while we have our pasta & nutball course the ratties can be running about with their own little nutballs. http://tinyurl.com/333cb You were trying to game my quiz, you stupid bitch, but you can't get away with it. Someone so stupid she can't follow basic instructions can't get away with much of anything. |
