I just see a lot of lack of acceptance in this thread. The vegetarian crowd simply doesn't accept the carnivores because of how they interpret the Law of One, and the carnivores don't accept the vegetarians' interpretation of the Law of One.
I'd just like to offer that this doesn't have to be about the Law of One. It can be about what you feel is right -- in fact, it always is about that in the end (and, maybe sometimes, the secret fear that you might be wrong). And if it's just about what you truly feel is right, then we ought to assume a posture of sharing our perspectives and listening to others', rather than trying to find the holes that will always abound in each others' limited arguments. The Confederation says over and over that the best argument we can make is our example, not our words.
I see merits and faults in the interpretations of both sides. This is a confusing, baffling, heartbreaking illusion. We're all doing the best we can.
