Note to doofus at the next table over

[wrog]

Ya know, I may actually mostly agree with you; there are aspects of factory farming that are entirely inexcusable; and the complete gutting of the regulatory agencies involved --- so that the corresponding businesses have no choice but to follow the latest trends in animal concentration if they want to stay profitable/competitive --- is only one of many reasons that it may yet be 20 years before I'll once again be able to vote Republican at the federal level with anything resembling a clear conscience.

But, for the love of God, do you to have to lecture in a voice that can be heard all throughout the room
about prions and the process of rendering animals into animal feed?

In a restaurant??

You know, a place where idiots like me are trying to eat dinner???

I felt sorry for his date.

In a more general response to this, I hate when someone hands me a document to read in a meeting, and then acts as if I can comment cogently on it without taking time to read it, especially when the rest of the meeting is still going on.

As another general response to the guy in the restaurant: the correctness of your political and scientific views doesn't mean you're not a complete jackass.

Indeed. To both.
