KIO - I just about died laughing when I saw your post. Then, I looked more closely, and thought to myself, of course - it has to be a Freeper like KarlInOhio. ;-)

Donner und Blitzen,Shermy! Your crude and insensitive post has shocked me, shocked me, I tell you!

Are you so benighted as to be unaware that out of that planet-killing 18% of Global Warming caused by the domestication and eating (ugh) of livestock, fully 4.3% is scientifically attributable to the common domestic reindeer?

Did you not know that members of ethnic groups such as the Lapps, that traditionally consume large amounts of reindeer meat and reindeer byproducts, all die? OK, that alone wouldn't be so bad. But Women, Children, and Members of Federally Protected Minority Groups who live with them and consume reindeer products will also all die. They will still all die even if they were just visiting, you heartless plutocrat!

Enjoy your little Prancer und Dancer canapés with the other Republicans at your exclusive club. But stop and ask yourselves this question:
...was it this blasé attitude toward the epic human tragedy surrounding reindeer consumption that cost the Republicans the last elections?

Definitely. The chart in post 35 proves it beyond the shadow of a doubt. It also proves that this thread is George Bush's fault.
