So then humans spend billions of dollars torturing and killing 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 could eat is being used to fatten domestic animals. Meanwhile, few people recognize the absurdity of humans, who kill so easily and violently, and then plead for 'Peace on Earth.'" The good news is that anyone can break this cycle of violence. Each of us has the power to choose compassion. Please visit these websites to align your core values with life affirming choices: http://veganvideo.org & http://tryveg.com

Individual compassion I agree with but collective 'compassion' I do not! It is always easy to be a philanthropist with someone else's resources.! We must have compassion on our own & apply it individually. As for killing millions of animals to look for cures, that is the overstatement of the year to sympathize with an necessary part of human survival. I am an animal lover but we must be pragmatic & balanced in the need for research to advance medical techniques as well as medicines to bring about survival of human beings. Who kills so easily & violently & then plead for peace on earth? The 2 are not congruent. Those who plead for peace on earth are not 'killers'!

In the real world - a place your screed indicates you've never had contact with - animal testing has resulted in the saving of countless human lives.

Elsewhere, millions of other human beings are being killed by hunder because of socialistic policies and, more frequently, despots who prevent access to food. Where capitalism has been adopted, deaths from hunger have been essentially eliminated. The issue has NOTHING to do with fattening domestic animals. That is pure stupidity.

Meanwhile, a handful of complete whackos fail to recognize the absurdity of equating animal life with human life.

My soul is unhatmed by the turkey club for lunch and the steak or venison or chicken I'll have for dinner tonight.

Wishing You Capitalism on Earth

We wish each other "peace on earth." Wishing is not enough. We must act on this wish by promoting capitalism on earth.

Too many people (including some religious leaders) are promoting the idea that re-distribution of wealth or “social justice” is the best way to foster peace. But Christians and Jews need only read the Old Testament to see that God condemns stealing and envy so much that he gave Moses commandments like: “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, and “You shall not covet your neighbor’s goods.”

And in the New Testament, Christ
