You seem to be too much concentrated in hating the Kirchners to see anything clear, aren't you? Get over it...

Grupo Clarin is a monopoly, using it's many newspapers and tv channels it manipulates the news at a large scale to push the interests of the (few) tradicional "owners" of the country in detriment of everyone else. And not only that off course, many of it's bussiness practices, current and prior, are much less than pristine. The sooner they are divided in smaller companies the better for Argentina as a whole.

It's sad how gullible en are many of my fellow Argentinians, so credulous, so absent of critical thinking...

I like your signature. Thanks!

That's a sad joke, and it isn't the point at all, off course.

Sadly enough we can't stay alive without killing other living beings to feed us (and many other things, too). But given that we can't avoid killing them, then we *must* try to inflict the least suffering to those we kill, we must be compasionate and keep in mind what we are doing and why we do it...

That's the reason I feel that being vegan it's the right thing: as a explicit way of reminding myself that we must actively try to be the least evil possible. Off course I see it's mostly a symbolic gesture, because even vegetables surely feel pain in some way, but at least I try to do the right thing and also keeps my mind centered in the way things really *are*.

Or to put it in another way: those tasty crabs you are eating are the dead corpses of pitiful sentient beings that had an horrendous dead. If you can't keep yourself from eating then at least try to be minimize their suffering...
