I don't think its reasonable to demand people pepper every comment with citaitons and links for things that can easily be found with a quick internet search.

Coming up with a poll question where any answer you give will be interpreted as support for the pollster's politics is an art. I totally believe that poll. A lot of those people probably wish they could express an ANTI-work opinion at

>chronically-suffering animal’s life I don't think most farm animals are suffering through their entire life. They seem pretty all right to me. Factory chicken farms should be banned but not all meat.

I can respect that. Slaughterhouses are not pretty places. The weirdness is when you consider that the animals only exist because people raised them for their meat, is it really less cruel for these animals to never exist at all? I think we

And yet it's true. 2/3rds of pasture is not suitable for agriculture and would be worthless without ruminants. The corn-fed cattle industry in the US is a result of energy being cheap and labor being expensive. Less than 20% of be

That land is called marginal land, or pasture. You can't grow crops there economically r do anything else really. Removing the grazing animals from the land changes nothing and does not improve the environment at all. That land would b

Why build a train line that only takes you where a bus could, when you could build an airport that connects you to the entire globe?

Under the 4th amendment NSA is forbidden from collecting the communications of US citizens without a warrant. Do you disagree or think the constitution should be amended to authorize that?

This is sarcasm right? Hydrogen isn't a source of energy its a storage mechanism that has to be produced using fossil fuels or electricity, and you don't get more energy out of it than it takes to produce it.
