    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    Default The messenger is a moron...

    An interesting topic with many good points but I had to fight my way past my dislike of the annoying messenger.

    The disgusting Professor Sapolsky tries way too hard to look like a college professor and his intellectual hero, Karl Marx.

    It's obvious he has an inflated progressive ego and spends too much time indoctrinating rather than teaching his adoring students.

    Really? I thought he looked more like Weird Al Yankovich than Marx,

    In what way is his ego obviously inflated?

    Any comments on the message rather than the messenger?

    Who's willing to bet that if one letter in his name were merely changed to 'i' instead of 'y', HogWash would have found him wholly acceptable?

    A couple of his statements but his manufactured Karl Marx appearence is what I believe mostly influenced my accusation.

    Please try to understand that I have a loathing and disgust for liberals, progressives, marxists or whatever you want to refer to them as.

    I believe I did comment.

    I admit that I am extremely prejudiced of the left and automatically dismiss anything they say as stupidity once I determine someone is a liberal.

    They are without a doubt the single most annoying, foolish, useless, poorly informed, non-thinking group of people on the planet.

    What a beautiful, peaceful, problem free world it would be without them...Progress, prosperity, freedom and security would be bountiful.

    The only thing liberals are good for is during times of famine you can eat them, but they taste like shit.

    Is that your professional opinion or did you read it in the National Enquirer?
