Thread Name: BS: PETA never too insensitive!
Subject: RE: BS: PETA never too insensative!
I wish I could remember the exact quote, but I can't.

I recently heard/read someone characterize the membership of PETA as clueless high-school girls, and boys who don't give a shit about animals but want to impress the girls. Or, funnier words to that effect.

Pedant alert: I couldn't help but notice that the "PETA Kills Animals" website linked above refers to Californai as "the Sunshine State." Florida is the Sunshine State; California is the Golden State. (Kansas is the Sunflower State, New Jersey is the Garden State ~ need I go on?)

Ignorance of official state nicknames shouldn't invalidate an organization's arguments, but I can't help but notice piddling details like this...
