Soon this will become moot, too, as the oceans are down to about 10% of the fish they had only 5 - 10 years ago. We've fished them out.

My point on eggs was that they often kill the chickens that don't produce eggs anymore for meat. Perhaps not all do and some farms have a chicken retirement hut. I know eggs aren't meat, but I wonder sometimes if my eating eggs doesn't in a very round-about way cause some chickens to die? It was a stretch, but I ponder these things. > You're being to hard on yourself in an attempt to squash me. *kiss* I am non-violent. *lol* I have been known to pack a mean zen-whack though. > I do, too, but it's too often mistaken for arrogant, which means speaking > in high terms without the knowledge to back it up.
