Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Money is the only one who is where he belongs, apparently.  :hmm:

And I suppose BB too.

Georgia's nice, I guess. And there aren't enough black people out here. So there's that.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I've always pursued my utilitarian philosophy to its logical end, which is, of course, that the extermination of all biological life will soon become morally obligatory.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Novels? :unsure:

What are they doing? Translating AARs into novel format? Those are going to be some crazy alternate history soap operas.

The answer to that diatribe is that the Black Angus breed exists only because of human intervention, and if humans stop finding them useful then it should indeed dissappear. It's the same argument that pro bullfighting activists use over here regarding "fighting bulls", which are also bred on purpose that way.

Did you look at them? Most are just strategy guides. CK2 novel is some sort of Saxons vs. Harald & William alternate tic.

Because it is better to not exist?

Because it's not a naturally occurring animal, it's a variety that was bred that way by humans. There will still be plenty of cows around.

That doesn't answer my question though - which seems fair enough to ask when the message that "meat is murder" exists.
