Thank you Ken for elaborating on this. At the risk of offending
some persons of faith, I am sick and tired of people who see no
harm in polluting and pillaging our natural heritage because "God
gave us dominion over the animals" and "God said Abraham's
descendants would be numerous like grains of sand". I would
remind these people of another biblical principle as stated above:
stewardship. But I guess if you believe we are in the endtimes
then there is no reason to practice it.

Prost,

It makes me mad when I go to all the trouble of having Marta cook up about
a hundred drumsticks, and the guy at the Marineland says, "You can't throw
chicken to the dolphins. They eat fish." Sure they eat fish, if that's all
you give them. Man, wise up.
