If you ate something 'gross' without knowing it and it wasn't bad, when you found out would you change your opinion of it being gross?
In the 60’s, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

Isn't it often culture and context rather than actual taste that makes many foods "gross" or not?

Isn't a hamburger gross to a vegetarian?

Doesn't it depend on the hamburger?

Instead of the hamburger wouldn't it depend on the place that makes the hamburger?

Isn't freerange cattle better than fencing them in by the hundreds, like they do around here?

Okay, everybody...can we sing together "Home, home on the range, where the deer and the antelope play"?

Wouldn't "Don't Fence Me In" (Bing Crosby and The Andrews Sisters are my favorites) be a better fit here?

Did you think the "range" song might be about a stove top when you were a kid (or was that only ten years ago?
What's fencing, anyway...some kind of foot stamping sport, right?
Do cattle really get involved with that?
Wouldn't want to follow their bout without checking the condition of the track, would you?

Weren't the barbed wire wars in the American West fought over ranges being fenced off to stop the bouts of cattle jousts?

Isn't taking responsibility always a volunteer action?

Don't you always have a choice, even if said choice is a crappy one?

What if you choose to be responsible for committing genocide, is that a noble choice?
