Your thoughts?


What you said.

I think the "harvesters" are akin to the person who goes on a mass shooting rampage. Each finds a way to demean and degrade the things they are killing to make it more palatable, make the people less human, make the animal merely a crop rather than a wild and free thing .. make the death matter less. If the day ever comes that I can't say "I killed .." and own it straight up with no excuses, no rationalization, I damned well better hang up my guns because when that happens I've rationalized becoming the monster.
