    Elmo's PR has been WAAAAAAAY better than Grover's, unfortunately.


    Grover has missed some key opportunities to shine. For example: SuperGrover should have offered to save Captain Richard Phillips.


    Also: Grover, the King of all Hugs, should have offered to go around and hug anyone feeling down about the economy.


    Missed moments. Can't get 'em back, Grov.

    Elmo's beyond infinity? Good, he can keep cruisin' and not come back.


    Those kidlets, though, are worth a squeeze.

    I took my 4-year-old daughter to the NASM a couple of weeks ago, and we saw "Beyond Infinity," narrated by Liam Neeson, in the Einstein Planetarium. She thought it was pretty neat.

    If I lived in DC, I'd so drag my nephew to the planetarium show. Not that I would have any interest in watching that. No, not at all.

    unless you have respectfully and humanely killed and skinned the animal yourself, and will be using all of its parts for things like food and weaponry, then you should not be wearing fur. if you are living in the Arctic in an igloo and you kill a seal because your family depends on its meat and skin to survive, then ok. if you are a person living in a city where you have full access to synthetic fabrics which are warmer than fur, then you should not be wearing animal hides.

    @VivianDarkbloom: yep. I don't think people should eat meat without knowing exactly where it comes from and how it gets to their plate.


    I'm just trying to do my part to eliminate animal cruelty.

    @andromache loves the Gospel According to Biff: Do you know where your veggies come from? Do you buy them all from local farmers, so you know they aren't exploiting workers?


    How about your synthetic fabrics. Where are they made? And under what conditions?

    @andromache loves the Gospel According to Biff:


    There is no humane way of killing animals, and therefore I don't think that 'knowing' how your meat gets to you makes it any more 'right' to eat it.

    @Samazon: Those items aren't comparable. I'm not denying the exploitation faced by some farm and factory workers, but I am pretty sure their jobs would never require them to be skinned alive.


    Not to diminish their suffering; I agree that people should know where their purchases come from and strive to make ethical choices, but being skinned alive is in an oppression class all its own.
