In regards to eating meat

The next step is to make peace with humanity. There is so much work to be done here that I would almost call it obscene. Then we have the animals, and the plants, and then Gaia herself.

Making peace with humanity is certainly at the level of obscenity.

To me, it's easier or more natural to do what I can where I can, and making peace with humanity is a something I struggle with, while the animals, plants, and Gaia I can handle. Of course, this is in my private world. If we are talking about humanity making peace with humanity, and then with animals, plants, and Gaia . . . that might take a while. :-/

On the other hand, if a squirrel runs toward my vehicle when driving down the street, I do try to avoid it. But if I hit it my reaction is something like, "Gee that's too bad... but what a dumbass squirrel!"

If I may say so in a gentle ribbing way, that's a pretty dumbass comment. Do you expect the squirrel to understand cars? Would you say the same of your pet dog?
