I always thought that you could be high off drugs, but until you'd been high _on_ something, you wouldn't know being "high" from any other feeling, and hence wouldn't call it that.

There are people who will tell you it can't be true, because they think animals have no souls. But I have interacted with lots of animals all my life, and it is quite obvious that all species have consciousness, thought and personality - there is *no* evidence at all that they have no souls, excapt teh blind assumptions of arrogant humans who prefer to think that they are members of a "superior" species. Animals are just as likely to have souls as humans, who are after all just a species of animal. If they have souls, they are quite likely to have relationships of love with other souls. No one can guarantee that we have not spent past lives as animals, or will not spend future ones as animals, or that teh pets we have today might not reincarnate as the grandchildren of tomorrow. I respect the animals I deal with, even those who died before I encounter them to provide me with food or leather products. I would want the same respect paid to me, after my death. .n. 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718 From: .Nisaba Area: MagickNet To: Bart Lidofsky 4 Jun 94 12:55:00 Subject: Re: Fundamentalism in Austra UpdReq BL> You did not include express permission in the post for people to BL> repost it; is such permission granted? Sorry, yes it is. In fact, I splattered it about a bit, in lots of PODS, FIDO and CoastLink echoes. Now that HairNet is up and running with religious echoe, it'll find its way across there, too. But feel free to cross-post it into any echo where you have not seen it and where it is not off-topic. .n. 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718
