I remember once being on an airplane next to a St. Louis liberal who was horrified to learn that I was on my way to Colorado to hunt elk. I asked if she was a vegetarian, and she told me no. My reply was, "So it's not that you disapprove of killing animals... you'd rather just farm out the bloodshed to somebody else."
It was a quiet plane ride after that.
Agreed, but hey, at least it is a step in the right direction.
