Scott Adams -

I should note that I'm a vegetarian, but only for selfish reason. Saving critters from pain is an excellent goal if it's practical. But I can't reconcile that goal with what would happen if humans stopped killing animals. The alternative is to wait until the bears - for example - are about to copulate and then swoop in and place the condom on the boy bear without him noticing. Otherwise it seems to me that we'd have too damned many bears. If that happened, you'd be all 'Where's the remote control for the TV?' and your spouse would be all 'A bear is sitting on it' and you'd be all 'Again?!!' And you know how much you hate it when people say 'I'm all' instead of 'I said.' That has to be at least as bad as killing animals. That's my only point.
