The woman killing her children and the rape is something that is everyone in the world's business and we should take whatever legal and political action we are capable of on things where people are killed or hurt. I don't think we can dictate to people what they should and shouldn't eat...we can let them know that many people are appalled at this, we can boycott etc..we can insist on humane treatment of the animals...but unless we want Hindus saying we can't eat cows and Muslims and Jews saying we shouldn't eat pork and old-fashioned Catholics, sort of like me, saying we shouldn't eat any of them on Friday, and vegetarians saying we should eat them period..this is a cultural thing that we will just have to let offend us and realize that some of our foods and habits offend others. As for the car salesman, I wish America would give him the right to do that, as I wish they could give athiests the right to charge more for people they disagree with and let people shop around for the best price for their belief system. But I predict he won't be allowed to do that. We have to pick our battles and I don't see these events as any where near equivalent to each other. mg
