It is the most horrible horrible thing. You can see in the cows eyes the absolute fear it is going through. It also screams in pain.
Of course people who like to eat meat will argue with that, but a facts a fact.

I have never seen a cow slaughtered.
But I eat meat regularly and have no guilt that a murder has been committed, because a cow is an animal. I have no guilt that I murdered a fly or a mosquito that I have swatted. I have no guilt that I have murdered a worm if I toss it to a robin.
Animals are NOT equal to humans. The argument above does not hold.
No need. They already slaughtered their way across
to spread their joy in the 17-front campaigns back in the 11th and 12th centuries during the Crusades...their proudest accomplishment, no doubt.
i saw a show about turkeys last night, they only live 5 months before they're slaughtered nm

We are ready
I too have heard the same thing about O's safety. It truly saddens my heart when I hear this. I truly hope that all it is is rumors spread by sick people. I'd also want to get down to the bottom of it and find out who started the rumor and make it stop. I on the other hand believe the opposite of the country. I believe the country is ready for a black president. The US is a very big place and I think while you may run into racists in any area, each area is just such a small part of the whole country. I do believe the country is more ready for a black president than they are a woman president. I am a woman and I do not want a woman president and I know lots of men are voting for O because if she gets in there the men in the country will be destroyed. If we had a different woman running it might be different, but her past speaks for itself. However, with all that said, we should also remember that he is half white. It's funny that people refer to him as a black person, but because his mother was white why don't we ever respond or say he's also half white. Just doesn't make sense to me, if someone is half black/half white why are they referred to as one or the other. I'm half Puerto Rican, but my other side (Irish) is what I look more like. Sometimes I have to remind people that refer to me as white that I am half puerto rican and they just look at me odd. The other thing to remember is that all the most of the southern states voted overwhelmingly for O and not the other. I think if someone is so stupid to vote (or not vote) for someone because of their race then they will vote McCain. I do understand your comment about liberals and god. I think its just that the republicans are so "in your face" with their religion and dems are more laid back not letting you know where they stand on their beliefs in god. We all have different beliefs on religion, but I can't stand the people who wear their religion on their sleeve and throw it in your face and consider you a heathen because you don't belong to "their group" - sorry....I am actually talking about my own relatives....too sad a story...and that's a whole nother topic not for this board.
I was ready to go to war on 9/11
but I didn't know we were going to do the Iraqi freedom thing, I thought we were going to hunt down bin Laden who orchestrated the disaster. Must have misunderstood.
She's not even ready to be elected
i'm sure he is ready to leave,
and would not worry about that. Also am glad that the provisions are in place for every kind of emergency, including directive 51, to preserve the integrity of our government. If the terrorists will try again, i'm sure they'll wait to test Obama rather than mess with Bush. You'd best worry instead whether Obama will be ready 'on day 1'.
Get ready for $8/gallon gas.....sm
I was talking with a friend who is a field consultant in the oil industry. He said that it is very possible that OPEC has plans to terminate the US contract on or about March 14 in which the US gets the lion's share of OPEC oil. He said what will happen is that instead of the US getting the largest supply of foreign oil, that oil will now be distributed to European countries who have gotten only the "leftovers" in the past and will now leave the US to get the "leftovers." This, combined with decreased domestic drilling, will create higher oil and gas prices in the US.
He has been out of work since long before Christmas and is now looking at the very real possibility of having to relocate his family to Saudi in order to make a living. He and his wife are not wanting to take this route, but with the jobs drying up here, it may be his only alternative if he wishes to remain in the oil industry which is the only work he has ever done.
There is a pipe yard located about 30 miles from here in which there are a lot of drilling towers just sitting on the yard, and that is only one of many such yards in the area.
So get ready to either pay through the nose for gas or buy a horse and buggy!

Thanks - was just getting ready to put in an order
Will check those out too.
Let's get ready to RUMBLE
We're trying to have intelligent discourse. Not mob mentality ready to roll around in the mud. That is what is pathetic.
Whether I'm **ready to meet him** is something
and it's none of your business.
We'll be ready for it.
I think I posted an article on this further down on the page.
The anti-missle defense in Hawaii is ready with missles that can take out NK's missles without a problem. Anyhow, they don't believe NK has enough fire power to make it to Hawaii. Hawaii is 4500 miles away, while the missle is only supposed to be good for 4000 miles.
Now, Alaska is a different story, but they are also on alert.
I trust our miliary. I think our country will be safe. S. Korea, though, is another story if he sets off a nuclear warhead like he threatened. That nut keeps telling his people that WE are threatening nuclear war with THEM and have built up the nuclear war defenses on the DMZ.
This is probably ONE of the tests Biden talked about. The other one is Iran.
Ready for a Redistricting Boom? sm

Ready for a Redistricting Boom?
Look for several states to rejigger congressional districts in the wake of the Supreme Court's 7-2 ruling upholding the Texas legislature's 2003 decision to draw a new map, advises Kiplinger Forecasts. The Court made it clear that states can rewrite boundaries whenever they want, not just after the Census every 10 years. That means the congressional landscape in Washington can change every time one party gains control over a state's government. Although the Supreme Court's decision is a big victory for Republicans, and specifically for former Senate Majority Leader Tom DeLay of Texas, who engineered the redistricting, redistricting by other states may have the GOP ruing the day.
New maps may well put more Democrats in the House of Representatives, possibly enough to tip the balance of power from Republicans to Democrats. We expect Illinois, New Mexico, New Jersey and New York to wind up with Democrats in control of both the governor's mansion and the state legislature after the November elections. So redistricting in those states might shift enough seats to the Democratic column to give that party a majority.
Washington Wire: The Supreme Court’s decision is the culmination of one of the hardest fought redistricting battles in history.
The best analysis of the court decision comes from Rick Hasen and Nathaniel Persily.
Meanwhile, a Houston Chronicle editorial calls it a pyrrhic victory for Texas. If Wednesday's court decision was a victory for Texas, another such victory, and we are undone.
are we ready for a black president?
-Chris Rock
But a VP should also be ready to be commander-in-chief should something...sm
happen to the President so what does this say about what McCain has been saying about his opponent's lack of experience? His VP pick is the same age?!?!
I think his pick will hurt him more than help him and I have absolutely nothing against her at all...
Palin not ready for the press
http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/259517
Todd Harris, a GOP strategist, and McCain aide Nicole Wallace both said Sarah Palin won’t be available to the press. They said might make a mistake and American people don’t care about Palin talking to the press. Todd Harris, GOP Strategist who is also close to the McCain campaign, told Chris Matthews, MSNBC that Palin won’t be available to the press for about two weeks. He said she might make a mistake in the show.
If she goes out and makes a mistake, that is something that voters will] care about, and that's something that will haunt McCain for awhile, so I think this is a smart move.
And the GOP is proud in making such a decision, despite telling everyone she has more experience than Obama and Biden.
In the second video, McCain aide Nicole Wallace told Time’s Jay Carney and Joe Scarborough, MSNBC that the press will not be given a chance to take shots at Palin. She said American people don’t care whether Sarah Palin can answer specific questions about foreign and domestic policy. She said the public will know about her from Palin’s scripted speeches and appearances on the campaign trail and in political ads.
Jay Carney responded with the following statement:
Wallace's bash-the-media exercise has its merits as a campaign tactic. It certainly rallies the base. But the base won't lift McCain to 50% in November. More importantly, in her smug dismissal of the media's role in asking questions of the candidates, Wallace was really showing contempt not for reporters, but for voters.
If she is not ready now, how can we expect that she will be ready in the next few months? Is there a two-month crash course for Presidency?
Joe Biden also said that Obama was not ready...
to be President. Is HE sticking by that? Sorry to you to...lol
I'm about ready to pull what little money I have -
out of the bank and bury it in the backyard! What about you?
I dont ready your posts cause
they are usually wrong. Sorry.
Get Ready to Pay off your credit cards
The government is looking into buying some banks instead of subprime mortgages. They are going to need some capital. All ready to pay up?
I'll go with you; pitchfork at the ready!

The pubs were armed and ready, too
Why don't you talk out of both sides of your mouth?
You know, if America is not ready for a woman president now, when will they be? sm
And an even more important question, "why wouldn't they be?"
Is it that most Americans, some women included, believe that the woman is less competent than a man to handle the presidency? I don't ascribe to that now, and never will, but you probably have a point there. I've already heard some of the silly reasons the neocons have given that she would not make a good president, one being that she would not be respected and I still beg the same question - why?
I am ready to talk voter fraud with a pub
You can cry wolf 'til the cows come home on this, but it's not going to change those poll numbers except maybe in a downward direction. People are fixated on the one topic your candidate refuses to talk about. Your smear campaign is so intense that we all have smear fatigue by now and even if you could dig up any sort of legitimate attack, nobody outside the choir is listening. Don't you get that?
Looks like O is getting ready to turn that ACORN smear
Asking DOJ for special prosecutor to investigate Bush-McCain vote fraud scheme. Now, this story is going to start growing some real teeth. 2000. 2004. 2008....NOT.
Turning 60 this year and ready to PAR-TEEE.
to know my son will have a progressive and future-oriented leader looking after his best interests. To watch in horror as my own generational cohort sold out the American dream...maybe been around a little too long. In any case, I plan to stay up 'til the race is called and ring in the new era with a champagne toast to the dawn of better days to come.
Party on....I gotta get my kids ready for bed....lol nm

The O is ready to have his first news conference. Waiting now.

Go ahead...if you voted for "O" he promised to have it ready...
get right on down there and sign up. You'll still get your tax cut...even if you don't pay any.
She just wasn't ready for prime time.
Seriously.
Everybody else is too busy getting ready for the coronation of the Obamanation!

Here's some info on the 'shovel ready' programs.
Read this morning in our paper that the majority of the stimulus money coming to our great state of Ohio is going to go not to construction projects (like it was supposed to, hence the term 'shovel ready'), but to study construction projects.
I get that maybe we just shouldn't throw money to whatever pothole comes first and that there has to be some sort of order, but the reasoning behind this 'study' given by Gov. Strickland was that it was totally within the parameters of the stimulus and "we're putting engineers and planners to work."
I'm sure that will be greatly appreciated by those construction workers three years from now - after they've lost their homes, cars, equipment, business, etc.
I wish I could explain it, but I just don't get it either.
I was just ready to post on this same subject. I am not placing blame...sm
but it is very interesting.
Israel air force is ready to attack Iran
capable of making nuclear bomb. I have been reading about Israel and Iran every day and looks like one of these days we are going to hear a special report that Israel is attacking Iran. My question is if the US is going to help? I read Iran would attack the US if US tries to help Israel. I also read Iran has missels pointed in our direction to hit our oil refineries and power plants in the gulf coast states.
The first 2 links are about Israel ready to attack Iran.
