Our dreams of democracy have fallen under constraints that are worse than our worst nightmares.

Sir Paul McCartney has a new video. Of course not a music video, but one of those message videos former stars start making when people stop actually caring for their music. Some humanitarian/environmental low-risk public relations cause throwing a shade of sainthood on someone who does not deserve it. But the former Beatle may have taken it too far this time: Sir Paul wants to convince us that slaughtering animals for food is wrong, and that we all should be vegetarians.

We're not going to talk about how his good judgement played in his personal life, but we'll discuss the problems of the video:

•Yes, it's true that animals are sometime slaughtered in horrific ways, but shouldn't the issue of people dying be a bigger concern? Priorities sir. Priorities.

•Should the fact that animals are intelligent affect our decision and change our eating habits? Plus, who is funding these studies that prove that a goldfish is smarter than the average human being?

•From the no-shit-Sherlock department: is it shocking anyone to know that fish die from suffocation when taken out of water? 

•Compared to the tens of other habits that may be contributing to heart diseases or obesity problems, eating meat has to be rated somewhere between reason 80 to a 100. 

Ofcourse after 30 years, another bunch of ludicrous men will say that being a vegeterian is the same as being a savage, lets become fruitarians!
