THE ELITISTS SPEAK!

Ok, this wasn't directly mailed to me, but I got it from one of the vegan mailing lists. I almost fell out of my seat laughing at this thing.

Graeme: here is a real world experience. My mother-in-law neeeded a heart valve replaced and her surgeon recommended a pig valve. There was an alternative of a synthetic valve, but the surgeon suggested that it would not be in her best interests to use the pig version. If it were me, I would have taken the synthetic and run the risk that it may not last as long. If there were no synthetic and I needed the valve to survive I would have had an agonizing decision but I would have used the pig valve. Despite all of this, in the case of my mother-in-law I decided to be silent, and to make myself feel a little better I sent some money to Farm Sanctuary. -Dwight

OK STOP LAUGHING AND LISTEN

Call me crazy, but I'd let them put the entire fucking pig in my heart if it meant that they could keep me alive. Hell, I'd be sitting there eating the pork while they were performing the open-heart surgery on me! "That's it! Shove that pig in there! Hey, you guys got any beef jerky around here? Actually, I'm kinda thirsty, how about some MILK?"

It's actually funny how serious vegans are about wanting to be "healthy". I mean, you can eat all the rice cakes and granola in the world and yer still going to die. There's pollution, there's accidents, there's "angry gun-toting meat-eating people" like me.....give it up.
