Interestingly, I was most concerned about the last line of the "bridge" ("No one needs to make others bleed") because it was the one I thought of refutations to, such as: vaccinating children (while not necessary, certainly very, very advisable), and eating animals when humans live in locations such as the arctic or dry, high grasslands, where opportunities for large-scale plant agriculture are unavailable.

No, those are sortof lame arguments. We know it's metaphorical for a bigger more economically based mass murdering.

I had heard of 'Life of Pi' but have not read it, so I looked up its summary (on Wikipedia again). An interesting ethical story, that's for sure! Thanks for asking about it...I didn't realize it related to vegetarian ethics issues. I certainly know *I* wouldn't want to be stuck on a boat with a tiger! The story reminds me of a Woody Allen quote that goes something like, "It's just a big restaurant out there" (in nature).

It really is a brilliant book. I know you would love it. Read it twice.

Thanks for reading, Nick. Are you working on a new song right now? I haven't seen anything new in your collection for a while!

All the time. I have various reasons for not posting yet--the main one being that I wish to have a ready recording by the time I do post.

peace,

Hey, storymilo! I think you are very right that I would probably like the Life of Pi! Since both you and Nick (below) love it, I suspect I would, too. Also, I like your taste in music, so it would seem likely that we would have a similar taste in books

Nick, yes...that is exactly what I meant in the line (about the economically based mass murdering) so I'm glad the scenarios I thought of in which animal consumption is required for human survival didn't pop first into your mind when you read my "Look out" song lyrics.

I will just have to wait for the public unveilings of *your* completed lyrics until you have the recordings, too!
