Keep the Faith.....

Marla, you are a good person through and through. I won't begin to attempt to change your mind about anything.

I certainly believe in love and the capacity of human beings to use that love to change the world for the better. That will remain my unshakable belief.

I do get discouraged sometimes because it seems that causes I believe in such as health care, marriage equality for same-sexed couples, the environment, veganism are all attacked as being fanatical and crazy when it makes perfect sense to me. Sometimes I question my sanity that I'm too extreme and radical. I guess I took the comment about kool aid drinkers and "greenies" too personally, because I believe in the green movement and that human beings have caused change for the worse in this world and now we have to pay the price to fix it and that we can do it if we try. I acknowledge some of the radical protests can be "extreme" in nature.

I do respect that others have a different opinion.

While we pass laws to ban your car, your air conditioner, and force you to recycle, forget about eating meat too: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/new...cle6891362.ece

You hit the nail on the head. That's exactly the thought process that went into this thread.

Of course, when I post a thread or post, I get what I get and accept that. But I do bite back....LOL

Interesting.

What's interesting about me is that I've always had low total cholesterol and low bad cholesterol...as low as 106 total. However, the weird thing is I have low good cholesterol too and have a bad ratio of total/hdl that says I'm at risk for a cardiac event. Go figure. I've researched this a bit and there doesn't seem to be a consensus of treatment/cause other than maybe heredity.
