This guy leaves me speechless. Because he means it serious, I'm afraid.

All life lives on the appropriated life energy of other life-forms. One can fantasize about creating a world where this is not so, or philosophize that the endless cycle of life-consuming-life-consuming-life is something that should not have been, but that's the way it is. Some people just need to DEAL WITH IT already, sheesh.

Everybody has to make his/her own "moral" decision about where to draw the line when it comes to what life energy will be appropriated and how. I don't care what other people eat or don't eat, but I have little tolerance for the tendency of some to play the holier-than-thou game over it.
