OUR TWISTED WORLD

Anyone around here that has been following Chicago news will know about the uproar concerning the banning of Frois Gras.

Frois Gras, basically is Goose liver and is considered a delicacy. The uproar is over the manipulation of the Geese in order to produce larger livers. They force feed the Geece a special diet, literally gorging them so that they livers will grow abnormally large. It is. WITHOUT A DOUBT, a horrendous crime against one of God's creatures.

The Chicago city Council recently passed a law making it illegal to serve Frois Gras in our restaurants but others have been working feverishly to get that law overturned. It has become quite the firestorm in Chicago politics. People are picketing and protesting over the rights of these abused Geese.

The reason that I dubbed this entry, "Our twisted world", is because some of these same passionate prostesters would not think twice about the ending of a human life through the means of abortion. While I am appalled and disgusted over the way in which Frois Gras is made, it pales in comparison to ripping a life that is just beginning from it's Mothers womb.

In fact, let's apply the same arguments to the Goose as we do the destruction of human life. It's all about choice. The goose had the right to choose not to land in an area where it would be caught? People have the right to choose not to eat Frois Gras? Maybe the Geese should garner a goose lobby and enter the political arena?

I know that all of that sounds and is rediculous but the fact remains that as a society we have more respect for the life and treatment of a wild animal then we do the greatest of all of God's earthly creations. As a society, where is our passion for human life?
