But then George wrote about the Hunchback, and next thing I know, my handle is changed and you are being defensive about your ability to read French.<BR/><BR/>Oh, I see - I am now supposed to return the term of endearment. Not going to do that. That would be rude.<BR/><BR/>Something doesn't add up, and your latest response is odd, too.

I learned a lot about architecture, and later had the opportunity to climb the stairs up to the roof of Notre Dame and tour the bell tower. Very impressive, I must say. Disney got it all wrong. Spoiler alert for those of you who have not read the book, it doesn't have a happy ending. I KNOW!!! Shocking, eh? <BR/><BR/>Now what were we talking about?

They end the video with animals that appear to be living normally. This confuses me.<BR/><BR/>I just got a copy of <I>Fatal Harvest</I> yesterday. It's an impressive book but a terrible scold. The section on animals is quite depressing but not nearly sensationalist as the PETA video. <BR/><BR/>It is possible and not altogether inconvenient to buy grass-fed beef and non-battery chickens and eggs, even if the term free-range is misleading. I'm already looking into farm shares.
