    Just out of curiosity (off topic I know) - Do they really think that cattle would exist unharmed roaming the plains if we hadn't 'created' them over thousands of years of selective breeding? Do they really think that stone age man wore fur clothes because they were too cruel to grow cotton?

    I dont mind selective diets, but I am often amazed at many peoples reasons for doing so, so many people are so naive and uninformed as to the reasons livestock even exist.

    The old joke "If eating meat is cruel then why are animals made of meat?" is more insightful than some people realise.

    Sure, for your office key that makes sense... but what about your passport. Just leave it at home when you travel? And what if states start putting it in your drivers license?

    Or have you considered that if you take your office card with an RFID tag out to the local park for some coffee, an enterprising individual with a scanner could walk close, clone the card, then get in? Really... paranoid kinda stuff that is not a problem for 99% of us (including me), but it is not absurd either.

    Americans used to breed slaves. Does using `created` slaves make it ok?
