Guest guest Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 If we could truly celebrate Turkey Day, maybe it would be like celebrating Mother’s Day or Father’s Day or Veteran’s Day or President’s Day. We don’t eat our mothers, fathers, veterans, or president. We honor them, appreciating them for who they are and what they have done for us. We set aside a day to remember them, respect them, and be grateful for them. I envision the day when we will look back upon the slaughter of 45 million turkeys for Thanksgiving alone – that’s 675 million pounds of animal flesh in one day – with regret. I’d like to think that when that day comes, we might have a real “Turkey Day” to honor the lives of these sensitive, affectionate beings that we harmed so much before we awakened to a reverence for all life. And when that day comes, not only will we have peace on our plates, but we’ll be on our way to peace in the world. read the rest of this article here: http://www.alaskaveg.org/TurkeyDay.html have a good day everyone. love, JAK Access over 1 million songs - Music Unlimited. ______________________________\ ____ Everyone is raving about the all-new Mail beta. http://new.mail.
