    So why is vegetarianism perfect? That's just more animalist prejudice, which disreagrds the feelings and needs of the plant world. Ooh, eating animals is bad, but it's okay to mutilate vegetables!

    Vegetarians are fed by animal flesh... it breaks down into fertiliser which the plants use... Even a giant panda will eat meat if it's laying around the bamboo shoots.

    Glad to see you didn't get flooded out this summer.

    Anyway...


    No argument is being made -- well .... at least not a very direct one, and certainly not a circular one.

    Who Built Lord Ram's Bridge?


    Wikipedia: Epistomology

    ____________________


    BBC: Report on Hindu god Ram withdrawn

    "The Indian government has withdrawn a controversial report submitted in court earlier this week which questioned the existence of the Hindu god Ram.

    The report was presented to the Supreme Court on Wednesday in connection with a case against a proposed shipping canal project between India and Sri Lanka.

    Hindu hardliners say the project will destroy what they say is a bridge built by Ram and his army of monkeys.

    Scientists and archaeologists say the Ram Setu (Lord Ram's bridge) - or Adam's Bridge as it is sometimes called - is a natural formation of sand and stones. "

    Well I think if a bridge built by Ram and an army of monkeys is going to be destroyed, it should be done by Monkey and an army of rams.

    BBC: Offer to quit in India gods row

    "India's culture minister has offered to resign in a row over whether Hindu gods are mythological figures.

    Officials had presented the argument in court to support construction plans for an area devotees believe has remnants of a bridge built by the Hindu god Ram.

    Minister Ambika Soni said she would quit if asked to by the prime minister.

    She also confirmed that two directors of the Archaeological Survey of India, which prepared the court affidavit, had been suspended."
