So Hermes is farming crocodiles for purses.

How is this any different from packing a thousand head of cattle into stalls, force feeding them grain, and then sending out e coli burgers to hamburger joints? (I say this as a vegetarian who does eat meat, although I’m slipping tofu into recipes lately. It’s pretty good.)

I wonder if Pam Anderson has a Hermes bag. If the news reports were true, she had a car full of leather. And I’m always kind of surprised at the number of militant vegetarians who have leather in their lives. If you go veg, that really ought to extend to your Lazy Boy as well. Some cow died so you can plop your ass into a leather chair.

I have to remember this little fact: nearly half the population is below average intelligence-wise. In blunter terms, some people are just stupid.

PETA is a goof, but you have to admit they did a good job getting people to feel guilty about wearing fur. Worked on me. There was a time when I was saving for a luxurious sable coat from Russia. Then I stopped and blew it on something else and gave up the dream. I still sometimes dream of that coat.
