Vegans and aliens

So I am reading "Contact" by Carl Sagan, again. It is a really good book, the movie with Jodie Foster was based on it. As usual, the book is far better than the movie. The book actually gives a far different slant to the end than the movie which I really enjoy. It makes me wonder if Carl Sagan was as much an aethiest as he professed to be. If you are somebody who has ever questioned the exsistance of God, or knows someone who has, I would highly recommend it.
Anyway...in the book we receive a radio communication from the distant star of Vega, and start referring to the inhabitants of said star as Vegans. And it got me to wondering, is that where those people who are pretending to go through life without using animal products got their name?
I say pretending because I dont beleive it is possible to not use animal products, that is unless you can go without rubber, plastic, dyed fabrics of any kind, synthetic fabrics, camera film, and Porterhouse steaks. That would include the plastic and rubber insulation n the wires in your TV and Ipod, and the film used to create that dumb "Avator" movie that you are all having raptures about. Also, no tires on your car or bicycle. You can only wear white cotton because animal renderings are used as a mordant to make the dye "take" to the cloth. And guess what? You better not be wearing clothing made with a sewing machine, becasue according to a scource I trust, sewing machine oil is rendered from cats! They just havent found anything else for that application that works as well.
When all is said and done, even if you manage to remove all of these "Evil and expolitive" products from your life and your shopping cart, what are you eating? Vegetables, grains and bean curd, I suppose. Well you had better be growing all of that stuff yourself , because you must know that countless rabbits, moles, mice, ground hogs and the occasional hobo are killed in the industrial harvesting of all of that produce.
It's just not natural to not eat meat, I'm sorry. Next time you are brushing your pearly whites take a close look at those magnificant choppers in the mirror. You see the ones that would be fangs if you were a vampire? (Yes I know, stop dreaming, you Twilight robots). Start with the gap between your two front teeth and count outward in both directions to three. There they are ! Your wonderfull "Canine" teeth. Guess why they are shaped that way, so different from your other teeth? They are for TEARING MEAT, you clods. So dont tell me how much you love nature then start doing something as un-natural as not eating meat.
"OOH"" they say "The meat you buy is so unhealthy with all of the injected hormones and chemicals..." blah blah blah. I have no problem with not eating genetically altered or irradited meat for health reasons if you choose not to. But man up, go buy yourself a rifle and harvest your own. Those deer and elk are not only pretty, but tasty as well!
When all is said and done, if you still decide not to eat meat, then dont. Just dont tell me I shouldnt eat it either. That is the difference between a Liberal and a Conservative. If Conservative dosent want to do something or buy a certain product, like guns,they dont.
If a Liberal decides they dont like soemthing, they try to get the whole world to join in, willingly or not. Which is why they push to pass laws regulating the things they dont like.
Just think how much easier it will be for the Vegans (the aliens, not the birkenstock wearing granola munchers) to take us over when they arrive, if we are already living under the thumb of a bunch of silly laws and regulations because some people decided that it is thier job to nanny and take care of us, than if we are still independant free thinkers. But that brings up the subject of alien invasions, and that is another blog post altogether.....
