So, with that pathetic attempt to pretend that this mail isn't "OT", or possibly even "OTT"... >You are too busy yelling... I wasn't yelling! I was actually speaking quite softly. Occasionally I took off my glasses and cleaned them while pondering my next point, or smiled to myself as I reached down to stroke a friendly little labrador puppy which nuzzled my ankle while a butterfly perched on my shoulder. Ok, I admit that at one point I did jab the air with my pipe stem for emphasis - but we all get a little over excited sometimes. >I have a question for Jose and the others on the Meat Out topic. >What are your positions on chicken eggs and meat in regards to >the studies on chickens who are cooped up in cages all day >as opposed to those allowed to run free in a barn or even an >open farmyard? I've heard about cases where dozens of chickens >will be put in cages all day without any movement and the stress >induced not only degrades their life greatly but also produces >not as high quality eggs or meat.

Oh alright, if we must. >...Meat-eaters are not necessarily the embodiment of evil... Well! Its very easy to say we should stop bickering and then come up with a contentious statement like that. (Ho ho, smile, wink, friendly punch on shoulder etc) Ok, See you all next week.

He was also a painter. He was also gassed in the trenches in WW1. Place your bets which influenced him the most politically! But the most interesting thing about Hitler is that his party discovered / invented the beer mat and used it as a publicity device. Or so my daughter tells me. BTW in the UK we have had some free horror stories about free range hens where the hens are reared in such cramped conditions they can't or won't use the free range areas they are given. Heaven help this list if we even get into GM food!

In the TMBG newsletter that just came out it stated that they would like to send their new rock album out to those who send them their email and real mail address.
