Rabbi: Well, lessee, Yahweh made the Heavens and the Earth, and he
made the Land and the Seas, and he made all the Plants and the Insects
and the Animals. And we know some plants aer bad to eat, and some
insects contain poisons. Perhaps it's Yahweh's will that some animals
are bad to eat.

King III: Ok, so it's God's will, then? And not just the fact that
pigs wallow in their own **** and eat it too?

Rabbi: Sounds good to me. Better add this info to the sermons and make
sure the memos get passed on to the Talmudic Scholars.


Yeah, that was probably something of the gist of it. Of course, in the
millennia since, we've gotten a lot of really subtle justifications for
the kosher laws, including some that come very close to numerology.
"God made things in ones and twos, and anything that varies from these
are non-Godly. So cloven hooves are bad, since that's one leg and two
hooves, which makes three..." That's not the real argument, but the
Talmudic arguments that I've read are quite similar to that. A lot of
numerology...

But they don't, when they have the choice. When they are humanely given a
pen big enough to separate into food, exercise and **** areas, they keep
them all separate. My folks kept a pig on their little hobby farm, in a 5x5
m pen. He picked a corner to **** in as far from his food trough as he could
get. Pigs wallow in mud, but that only looks dirty from our point of view.
Sand cleans a pig's skin.

You know, that last little joke say far more about the mindset of
liberals than it does about those to the right of Attila the Hun.

Oh, yeah -- no question. Now, that's not to say that Judaic scholars
over the past 4,000 years or so haven't spent ages and ages coming up
with complex and subtle spiritual justifications for the kosher laws.
But, to my reading of some of it, that's all they are -- justifications.
The real reason was, indeed, to prevent the kinds of "maladies" that
befell other middle eastern tribes of the time. (A really nasty mold or
outbreak of trichinosis could literally decimate a tribe... and the
kosher laws were one reason why the Jews tended to outlast a lot of
their contemporaries.)


....Precisely. In fact, I can see the chain of events now:

Rabbi: People are dying from eating pig products.

Tribal King: Yes, but sausage wraps with unleaven bread are great,
Rabbi!

Rabbi: Perhaps, but if you keep eating them you'll die. Look at the
Bedouins who've we've seen suffer from these maladies! Pigs eat theri
own ****, o King! What would you expect from such an unclean animal?

King: But they taste great! Especially with A-1 sauce! If they weren't
meant to be eaten, why would God put them on Earth?

[three weeks later]

Tribal King II: Well, here we bury my father. Throw on the stones over
the tomb, and let's get that BBQ started! Roast pig and sausage wraps
for everyone!

Rabbi: But King Jr., didn't you see for yourself? Your father at pig
products, and he died! Just like I said he would!

King II: Yeah, right. Coincedence. Everyone dig in!

[three more weeks later]

King III: Ok, I'll bite. Pork is apparently bad for you, why is this
so, Rabbi?

Rabbi: Well, lessee, Yahweh made the Heavens and the Earth, and he
made the Land and the Seas, and he made all the Plants and the Insects
and the Animals. And we know some plants aer bad to eat, and some
insects contain poisons. Perhaps it's Yahweh's will that some animals
are bad to eat.

King III: Ok, so it's God's will, then? And not just the fact that
pigs wallow in their own **** and eat it too?

Rabbi: Sounds good to me. Better add this info to the sermons and make
sure the memos get passed on to the Talmudic Scholars.

King III: Yeah, I figure if Gramps and Pop and the rest of Israel
wouldn't listen to you, at least they'll listen to God. Do you think
we should exterminate them just to be on the safe side?

Rabbi: Oy. There's nothing wrong with raising and selling them to the
Gentiles and proto-Muslims, o King. No sense wasting profit there, nu?

....Which is why they're mostly bottled in brown glass. I've also heard
of this happening with Zima when it's been left in the sun way too
long on a hot summer day. Then again, anyone who drinks that fermented
Sprite gets what they deserve :-)

And once you realize that, you have to think about what they add to I think
it's Miller which is in clear bottles.

Sheesh. People get peeved because I tend to talk off-newsgroup-topic
about the current global war we're in... but here you've got a
discussion going about Teddy Kennedy's hygiene habits.

Here in Virginia, and presumably in many other places, that's not
true. Wearing a mask is a crime. (Unless you're at a costume party,
or in extreme cold weather, or have a good medical reason.)
