I know very few who live up to their all of their environmentally ethical beliefs. We are all part of the petrochemical world - with very few exceptions. Few want to diminish their standard of living for what they might believe is the greater good. I am no exception. Whether that is unethical or not - you tell me.

I often think that those who disdain the abhorence of blood spilt have never raised a calf, a pig, a rabbit to maturity and then killed it for food for one's family. Or never served in an active war. A chorus pointed out the obvious. Now I suspect that I have done alot more killing, blood-letting, butchering, in my day than you ever have or will. Even when I was teaching my children how to kill, skin and butcher rabbits for their spending money, I was also encouraging them to love and respect their non-human relations.
