Reality Bites

Susanna Cornett points out how separated we've become from the harder edges of reality. I'll readily admit I probably wouldn't like to be directly involved in the slaughter of an animal for dinner, but I have no trouble remembering where that turkey I'll be eating in a few hours came from. We should all keep that in mind, as well as the other harsh realities of life that many of us in the United States have been fortunate enough to avoid.

Dear Editor,

Please, please, please me.

I don't care to be directly involved in the slaughter of an animal for dinner but am will to compromise by killing everything that I like, instead.

That means that I kill to eat and not enjoy the act. Please- what level of boredom have we slipped toward to provide rights to animals that we have not empowered in citizens of the realm.

Suzanne, you have too much time on your hands and my medication is running out.
