I stopped eating meat 10 years ago. It was a personal decision. I never try to tell other people that whey should or shouldn't eat. If people want to eat meat, they have that right, and I won't try to stop them. This is just a great example of the difference between the radical left vegetarians in that article, and libertarian vegetarians like me.

Dave Thomas was an American hero and a great role model. He started out with no money, and through hard work, he became very wealthy. He is a great example of what one person can do.

I don't eat meat. I don't smoke. I have never been drunk. I have never used illegal drugs. However, I have no desire to force my way of life on to other people.

Actually, I have way, way more respect for meat eating conservatives and libertarians, than I do for the radical left vegetarians like the ones in that article.

I knew that out there somewhere, there were some vegetarians who mind their own business. Unfortunately, the only picture given to the American people about vegetarians are of wacko animal rights vegi-nazis. I will remember you when I am tempted to paint you all with a broad brush.

I guess there are at least two types of vegetarians.

1) those who are concerned about diet
2) those who are concerned about animals

It is #2 who are the dangerous ones.
