Go Ahead...Be Cruel.

There's nothing wrong with animal testing. It's not cruel, but rather it's smart. Would you want the testing to be done on humans? I think not. There are reasons why we are at the top of the food chain. Without animal testing, we wouldn't know, at least accurately, whether or not products were safe. I'm not about to take the risk of disease, cancer (since EVERYTHING has been known to cause cancer in lab rats), or worse yet - death by not having animal testing. Call me selfish, but hey, I'm right. And I'd be willing to bet there are others out there who feel the same; they're just too afraid to come forward and say it in front of all these intimidating animal-loving hippies.

Something else that bugs me about hippies....their recycling campaign. Recycling is pointless. Most garbage companies that collect both trash and recyclables end up mixing them with the trash anyway, once they tote it out of sight. The hippies are so dedicated to their cause they overlook the fact that recycling takes up more energy than it would to just throw it all in a dump. So yes, by recycling we've saved what - one tree? But we've also wasted watts of energy that I could have used more productively by watching tv. Everything eventually decomposes. It then turns into soil that a future tree can plant its roots in. Grant it, plastics and metals take several hundred years, but it all eventually breaks down. So why fight nature? Just let nature take care of it. Mother nature is on a different time scale than humans. Volcanoes put more hazardous material into the air than humans could in centuries. Our contributioin is merely a flicker in the flame of global destruction.

Environmentalists can eat my shorts made from recycled fibers.
