I confess, I hadn’t heard about Paul McCartney firing roadies for eating hamburgers.
Neither I, nor any hunter or meat eater on the planet, has any desire whatsoever to influence any vegetarian’s choice of diet or to force them to eat meat. We are the friendly, tolerant Americans.
This is but one of many issues that represent the line drawn in the sand between liberals and conservatives.
Our own intrepid opinion editor at the Trib, my friend John Young, doesn’t want to simply make the choice to be unarmed and helpless for himself. He has again recently insisted that you and I must also comply with his soulless condition of unarmed helplessness in “gun-free zones.”
Nobody from our side wants to force anybody to have a gun or defend themselves. It is us, the conservatives, who are for individual choice.
And isn’t that the crux of the nanny state? Nanny statists aren’t content to make their own choices, they want to impose their values and lifestyles on the rest of us (and that goes for nannies on the left AND the right). If you want to be a vegetarian, that’s fine by me. I have plenty of friends who are vegetarian. But to fire someone for eating meat? That just seems a bit odd.
I must confess that I’m a vegitarian of sorts. I eat animals that only eat things like grass, corn, millet, alfalfa, tree bark, seeds, fruit…
I wonder how much leather McCartney has in his wardrobe. ‘Course, for him it may not be about the animals, but about what he eats.

Paul McCartney did fire roadies for eating hamburgers. Paul McCartney is a bloody hypocrite because he wears leather belts and leather running shoes. I have heard he also is not a vegetarian behind closed doors and he occasionally eats chicken and fish. Paul McCartney does not give a shit about animal rights. The man is a fraud and poser. The only thing Paul McCartney is concerned about is making more money and having his fans adore him. The man is a bloody wuss.
