Ah! Interesting, interesting. "Liberal Nazi". I'll have to remember that one. Yeah, I'll have to admit that Mike Moore isn't a true journalist. He's a documentarian ... if that's the term. His films are definitely one-sided because he's trying to persuade his audience to see what he sees. But, I think intelligent viewers realize this and are able to pick out when a piece of information or a particular argument is valid and should be agreed with, and when he presents them with something that may require a little more looking into or thinking about before an opinion is reached. And I like films like this ... they're good exercise in critical interaction and always keep my interest. And I'm very liberal, but I don't think we shouldn't eat animals! I'm more of a scientific liberal. Human beings are omnivores, and meat is a natural part of our diet. Getting all weepy over the feelings of animals is ridiculous. I've never met an animal rights activist who cared a whip for ugly animals. I don't see anybody rushing to defend the rights of the cockroach who gets sprayed in the Raid commercials, or the stingrays that got speared on "Survivor". But as someone eats a rat, everyone's up in arms! "Don't shoot that deer!" one second, and "Step on that spider!" the next.
