Seems some people are a bit touchy on the whole meatrix issue:

I thought the clip was funny. This isnt going to change my views of eating meats. It's just someone else's perspective that doesnt agree with the system.

No biggie.

He he. It looks like it.

If the Meatrix site is telling everyone to become a vegetarian, it is doing so in a very underhanded way... if you click the red pill (that says, "Click Me") at the end of the cartoon, it takes you to a site where the first thing you see is the headline, "BUY MEAT FROM FAMILY FARMERS," and it lists resources and actions you can take... the words "vegetarian" or "vegan" are nowhere to be seen.

The geeknewscentral reaction is pretty typical of being overly defensive and afraid to think about where our food comes from.

Man, I'm not very sharp this morning, am I? Actually, it's the afternoon, so I must really be out of it.

The "g" is my other middle name.

Which is ...? :)

In case anybody's wondering, I PMed dave with my mystery middle name. My other 3 names are plastered all over my personal website, and I try to keep this one private. Dave can probably blackmail me with it some day, but luckily, he told me a story about his middle name too, so I'm not completely owned.

:D
