sorry urbpan, if I came off a bit hostile. As I commented to propaddict, things look more blunt without tone of voice. Had I been able to say "did you mean to be mean?", my tone would have come off more "this is a question, let's have a discussion" than a smack back.
Glad you like discussion. Though I've had many of these, and I admit I find myself unconvinced. I'm pretty sure I can't undo my NYC girl upbringing anymore than, say, anyone from the south or midwest who grew up on a farm seeing animals as food rather than cuddly, anthropomorphized Disney characters, and probably has a lot more testosterone than I ever could, can see things from my perspective. :-) I usually know better than to even try to have the conversation. Every now and then it just runs right out into traffic before I can muzzle the little critter. :-)
