Pyro, when you said, "They have gone to the point where swatting flies is a heinous crime, it will not be long before it is wrong to take vaccines or antibiotics for fear of harming the viruses and bacteria", you did know that swatting a fly is not a crime anywhere, right?
Bruce, I do not know why you always take me so literally...
Yes, I am fully aware that there is no law that says you can not kill a fly. I am not that stupid.
What I was saying was that, in the eyes of PETA, swatting a fly is such a deplorable act that when the President does it on live TV it creates a national fracas... To them it is, quite obviously, a crime...
