Just wanted to clarify some things you seem to be ignorant about. If a cow had horns it would not "happily impale" anyone. Cows are herbivores and have a lot of natural predators. It's in their nature not to seek confrontation with other animals. Most cows need to be dehorned anyway because the horns grow into the skull and eventually kill the animal prematurely.

Chances are that your friend who was once charged was doing something to the calf that seemed threating to the mother. After calves are weened mothers become significantly less protective. In fact unless a cow has a young calf I've never seen one become aggressive or defend itself from an attack. I say this because I've worked on a dairy farm since I was 5 and been a ranch hand for close to 5 years.

Now having said that I hope you'll realize that most the comments I make on this site are satirical in nature and have an exaggerated and dry sense of humor. And if cannibalism wasn't frowned upon in most societies that might not be a bad idea.

In reply to this comment by dgandhi:
On your list of "racisms" I only come anywhere near the calling Christians Morons one, but I assure you that I reserve that for morons who happen to be Christians. While I do agree that we all have racism "issues" I find that they are more often systemic, rather then interpersonal.

Since I will be assumed to be more competent then somebody else because I am white, or male, or from an upper middle-class family I find the unaknowledged affirmative action of racism a much more prevalent form of racism then crass bigotry, which you seem to think everyone is prone to.

GH: I don't know if I'm the token vegan who needs to respond to your jab, but allow me to assure you that a cow who has not had her horns snipped would happily impale you, or a wolf any day of the week. I say this as somebody who was once charged by a horned overprotective momma cow, I would not mess with her.

P.S. since GH wants to eat others on the basis of intelligence how about everybody post your IQ/SAT scores so we know who to roast over the spit next

"reason":

I like how you are the new right-wing-nut hitting all the sift posts.

Chomsky is NOT as left as you can get, he's damn near "liberal" in the real sense of the word. I'm far more left then he is, even on a bad day.

I don't recall any reference to "gospel truth" (as if the gospels contained truth). He is only arguing that the overwhelming evidence supports a conclusion of conservative, not liberal media bias.

The US media and government are composed primarily of conservatives (Democrats) and neocons (Republicans). Anything centrist or even soft left is simply made fun of as left-wing, while anything hard left is never even mentioned. At the same time far right-wing-nuts get their own talk-shows and TV shows and end up as president. This creates a slanted left-right scale, where the center is called the left, and the left does not exist. Reality, being generally centrist, can be accused of having a "left"/"liberal" bias, you just have to pick the right(wing) scale.
