=================
Yet your frivolous usage of this computer still contributes to the ever
increasing demand for more power generation and communication systems.
Millions upon millions of the teeming masses don't even have the luxury of a
'recycled' computer.  Both of which cause death and suffering to animals.
You have no survival need for this, you just like your entertainment.
suggest you take up watching bullfighting instead.  Fewer animals Are killed
that way.

===========================
yet you still drive.  You have no survival need to drive.  You just prefer
the convenience.  This little bit of selfishness again contributes to an
ever increasing demand on resources and the death and suffering of animals
that occurs for their production.  millions and millions of the teeming
masses you rant about don't drive at all.



 I use energy saving lighting
==================
Again, you useage contributes to an ever increasing demand for more power.
Anyoone truly concerned about the effects of manmade
problems wouldn't use any at all.  millions and millions of the teeming
masses you rant about would like to just have lighting.



> and I never waste food.
=====================
Good for you, it's still probably far more than millions of the teeming
masses you spew about have in a week.

======================
No, it's a sure sign that you aren't really concerned about the impact
'mankind' has on the planet and animals.  you just concerned that 'others'
are the problem.
'You' are more the problem than millions and millions of the people you rant
there are too amny of.  You use up far more resourses than millions of
others on this planet.

======================
Educating the truly ignorant is a frustrating job.  Especially when they
prefer to be terminally ignorant.
