Re: [RC] Reality bites - Sisu West Ranch

"...Was it okay for the Donner party to feast upon themselves - even if they
had to do that to survive?..."

Again with the smoke screen of a false analogy. The morality/immorality and advisability/inadvisability of cannibalism by humans, or any other species has nothing whatsoever to do with singling out one or a few species of animals as being non edible especially by folk who cheerfully eat other animals. Granted, it is a common religious belief (read Leviticus and its detailed lists of "clean and unclean").

If you really want to talk about "slippery slopes" lets talk about this type of law may be the first step in turning the USA into a Theocracy. Our founding fathers rightly outlawed the establishment of a religion etc.

The other part of your postings about the will of the majority in a democracy, was also feared by our founding fathers. Much of The Bill of Rights is aimed at limiting the Tyranny of the Majority.
