Has anyone heard this quote before?
Isn't man an amazing animal? He kills wildlife by the millions in order to protect his domestic animals and their feed. Then he kills domestic animals by the billions and eats them. This in turn kills man by the millions, because eating all those animals leads to degenerative-and fatal-health conditions like heart disease, kidney disease, and cancer. So then man tortures and kills millions more animals to look for cures for these diseases. Elsewhere, millions of other human beings are being killed by hunger and malnutrition because food they cold eat is being used to fatten domestic animals. Meanwhile, some people are dying of sad laughter at the absurdity of man, who kills so easily and so violently, and once a year sends out cards praying for "Peace on Earth.
-Preface from Old MacDonald's Factory Farm by David Coates
just thought it was cool!
Answers: So then, Starlight: if man is not an animal, and clearly not an angel, is he a god? We are certainly not lords of animals; lords do not destroy their subjects wantonly.
To quote Mark Twain: "The fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual superiority to the other creatures; but the fact that he can do wrong proves his moral inferiority to any creatures that cannot." nope i havent but i like it yeah that is a great quote. MAN!!! THAT IS COOL!!! That is pretty cool. Glad u shared it. It's an interesting idea, I think I will have to share it with my email pals. nope... haven't heard it but what is true is true... and man kills what he rules with no regard or care of ramifications. you mark my words... to be as smart as we think we are and as fragile as we are as a species... we will in time doom ourselves to extinction... if for no other reason than we have this strange but false idea that the earth could not function properly without us... but time will surely outlast technology and we will doom ourselves for not learing from the past and present mistakes... it will be sad because of the value that we place on human life... how fragile we really are. Man was created in the image of GOD. Man is NOT an animal. That is the most significant summary of the world that we live in. I'm stealing this quote from you...I love it!
P.S.- Starlight Lilly- Man was not created in the image of God, god was created in the image of man. Duh. And if we aren't animals, what are we? Plants? Someone needs to brush up on their science and history. Yes, he also has a website--it's actually C. David Coats. He sells lots of veggie head crap. He's a real capitalist. Many of the products he sells are way over priced in comparison to other non-veggie head websites.
Another pseudo veggie head that is a greedy, ethical fraud. Man is pretty amazing. That computer your typing on, its a pretty awesome machine. Your car, house, and everything you own is pretty awesome. Any other animals made themselves rockets for space travel space? Or even a primitve society for that matter? No?
Dont like the way the world works? Tough $hit.
