While I agree somewhat with the descriptive aspect of your comment I think you assume a view of humans that is too atomic or individualistic as agenents. No doubt "these people" have "made" consuming a large part of thei

Sorry. Right now we're working on developing the lost fear of fascism and radical Protestant Nationalism (N.A.R., Seven Mountains Mandate, 'dominionism', etc). We'll work on the blood thing later.
