With all due respect, I think you may be a tad of a sanctimonious ex-hunter.
Drop the "sanctimonious part," and you get the prize! I'm a proud ex-hunter!
But tell me, why is shrill, demented, masculine hollering in defense of killing for fun an acceptable thing on FR, when my sort of subversive defense of all life considered evil? Is it the same sort of thinking which condemns the intolerant, shouting down of dissidence on liberal websites while supporting the intolerant, shouting down of dissidence on FR?
