Response to some rather dense person's posting.

There IS a difference.

There is NO hypocrisy in condemning those who do MORE cruelty
to animals or advance harm to their bodies or society
through drug use -- NOT less.

This is what makes Rush Limbaugh a TOTAL hypocrite.
He condemned pot smokers, even those whose pot smoking caused
no damage to themselves and cost insurers and drug rehab units,
demanding extremist prison sentences for them,
who did less damage to society financially than his coked up
fanatic drug habit. He even condemned those who themselves took
no illegal drugs, just because they believed in legalizing drugs
for others. Thus, he condemned those who are 100% pure, drug-wise.

I have not heard of this Karen Winter, but from what you describe,
she kills FAR fewer animals, and those she does, more humanely,
than ANYone she condemns. More importantly, she is working in
the right direction, willing to work with others to find out ways
to further reduce killing animals by advancing technology.

Obviously you would condemn WWII veterans for being hypocrites
because some of them killed innocent civilians accidentally in war
while they were trying to fight the Nazis.
