» Group Stupidity

there’s something been bugging me … Have we, as a species, sunk so low into the depths of utter imbecility that we now take seriously the claims of a group calling themselves the “Lobster Liberation Front”?

No, I’m serious! there really is such a group, and they think they’re actually real terrorists! You can read about them on the BBC Online news web site.

What are these morons on? We’re living in a world where people are running around killing other people for incomprehensible reasons … But these total jerks are running around playing at being terrorists because of seafood?? Did common sense suddenly become an endangered species? Did intelligence suddenly come into short supply? Do these people actually have the first clue about priorities?

It’s a sick world when a bunch of animal activists will go around thinking that somehow they can use the tactics and techniques of psychological terrorism on the public and it’s legitimate. You can think what you like about the whole idea of animal rights with regards to the food chain, but if you think that somehow your fight for the “rights” of someone’s dinner gives you the right to behave the same way as those who run around killing innocents for political purposes, I’m sorry, but you’re really quite sick in the head.

The world has already gone insane, when this sort of stupidity happens, and personally if I ever come across someone who tries to justify using the same tactics as real terrorists in their defence of livestock, they better get their feet off the ground.
