I like meat - am I a tyrant?

[Rodion Romanovich]

On the other hand, if mass-vegetarianism avoids the need to eat turkey-everything for a week after Christmas, it could be worth the pain.

don't you see it's the other way around?!! The fact that you had to eat Turkey so many times in a row is because there's a shortage of meat - even now the genocide of our poor defenseless cattle animals has begun! There's a shortage of meat, thanks to the oppression led by the veggie folks! If there was meat in abundance, and food for everyone, and the trees full of glittering fruit once more, then you would not have needed to endure such suffering! Or if men would be at peace, and share a turkey, as a more meat-friendly world would allow, there would be no such suffering of the kind you speak of. So let us march to battle, and if this will be our last battle - if this will be the day known by our ancestors as the day when we died as martyrs for freedom - then so be it!
