Another thread made me realize how much better our surroundings could be. If we just made a few little adjustments.

· We don't want bugs in our ideal world. So they've got to go, eradicated by any means necessary.
· We certainly don't want the nuisance droppings of companion pets. We've all had the experience of picking up something on our shoes- or even worse- on our toes and we certainly wouldn't wish that on our children or grandchildren. And the hair. And the dander. There would be far fewer allergens in our homes with those animals gone.
· Which, of course, means that in our ideal world we don't want those animals that through no fault of their own have been sharing our world. For that matter, who says we need companion animals in the first place? What, aren't fellow humans good enough? Let us solve the problem. Let us banish them.
· Birds too. They too have droppings (shudder; most of us have had the unhappy experience of ruined clothes, not even to mention the trauma that is part of it.
· Almost as displeasing as the presence of animal droppings are the odors attendant to the presence of other animals. Have you ever lived upwind of a pig farm? Or a chicken growing operation? Or a cattle barn? Or a horse barn, for that matter. These are smells that are not meant for the sophisticated nose of today's homo sapien.. It is far past time for us to resolve this problem.
· If we don't want those smells – and we most certainly do not- there is no choice on the matter. Those animals have to go.
· With those animals gone we will, ipso facto, be vegetarian, or more properly speaking, vegan. And that's OK. Especially if we are willing to pay someone else to do the grubbing for us. Because it is true that there is a lot of mud and mess that comes with the vegetable world (and dirt under our finger nails yuck) but if we buy the clean, sanitized, shrink-wrapped packs that miraculously show up on our store shelves we can avoid the worst of it.

Do you have any further improvements that come to mind? This is do-able, folks.
