For the record, methane gas is worsening the greenhouse effect, and is caused by factory farming. So thank you for implying that I have no idea what I am saying, but believe it or not I do have High school diploma, and I do go to college.

True, but you're spreading yourself too thin when you support 1,000 causes. Like in life, Politics has PRIORITIES. If you see a dying child on teh street, do you really think Animal Rights are something you should be equally or even marginally worried about?
You have every right in the world to hold your opinions, as do I. and I believe that by blocking out anything you do not feel fits your agenda at the moment you are spreading the same sort of ignorance that is causing the problems you say are so important.
I'm not trying to block anything out. As I stated, I too, am for Animal Rights, I just feel that when we solve problems that are much more devastating and tangible, we can then focus on the smaller, more workable solutions.
Here's an example; After 9/11, do you think they focused on clearing the dust and rubble at the same time? No, they focused on the rubble. It was more bulky, and inhibited navigation in the area. It's much more tangible to tackle big things first, and worry about the small things later.
There is some common ground between human and animal issues, and I personally believe they are both important. That is my personal priority, nothing more nothing less. Just because some are more important to you than others does not mean that they have to be that way to me...
Ok, what do you propose we do to tackle Animal Rights? Establish another Government Agency? Spend billions more? That's more billions we have to borrow from Foreign Investors. Let's also tackle the THOUSANDS of other, petty issues. Smoking Bans. Political Correctness. etc. We have more impotant things to devote our resources and time to. I'm sorry.
Dissent is patriotic, and as such is a necessary part of democracy. Don’t forget that.
I just had a lengthy
debate on Dissent. I'm perfectly aware of the characteristics and importance of dissent.
