I guess when you get right down to it, I'm a big fan of logical consistency. Believe what you want, only PLEASE MAKE SENSE!

I'll never forget a friend of mine in Germany who was an "ethical" vegetarian that had no problem with owning a full length fox coat.

I eat meat, I hunt, I'll wear leather and fur, but nothing that cannot be consumed
