The HIV/Cancer argument doesn't fly, a better comparison would be focussing on a hangnail when there's HIV out there In my idyllic rural youth I've dragged torn apart chickens out of batteries, seen badly performed pig castrations, unpicked dead lambs from barbed wire fences, seen botched slaughtering in abbatoirs and a whole lot more. Townies don't care how it got to the table but they do like dictating to the shires. I think that's more what the marches/barricades were about
