"It's a pity Bilbo didn't kill him when he had the chance."
"Pity? It was pity that stayed Bilbo's hand. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not so quick to deal out judgement. Even the very wise cannot see all ends.."
- JRR Tolkien (forgive me if the quote is slightly off, I'm reciting it from memory)
I've called myself pro-life for most of my life. But it is an uncompromising position. And I have too often compromised. No longer.
I am a Vegetarian as of this moment. It's the right thing to do, and I'm going to do the right thing. All the excuses I've given over the past few years when I've considered it have been just that, excuses.
No Abortion. No Death Penalty. No slaughtering of animals for my own pleasure. And no compromise.
My thanks to those individuals who have enlightened me: My brother Brian (who is wiser than his years), and my friends Joe, John, and Drew.
