The animal rights crazies are right in there with the "passive smoking" loons and the "make alcohol so expensive only our friends can afford it" nutters. The only difference (so far) is that the animal rights crowd tend to be more physically aggressive (a la "offended" Moslems) than their fellow authoritarians.Umbongonoreply@blogger.com
