Okay, I like Mike Rowe on "Dirty Jobs". Lord knows, I loves me some blue-collar stuff, being from a blue collar family (not least of which includes my Dad disking, haying, cowboying, and other-ing).
And despite being mostly a city boy, who just happens to have spent some time on the farm on vacation and during deer season, I have a great appreciation for the jobs that need to be done down on the farm.
Okay, despite all that, this is such a great monologue:
Rats, I can't figure out how to steal the source code to embed it. So just click through and watch it.
I actually have witnessed (not personally done) the necessary castrations and pollings of cattle. I have actually slaughtered (yes, me personally in this case) various farm animals for food, not to mention various game animals. And I will personally bear witness to the eternal truth that the so-called "animal rights" activists are far worse for animal welfare than farmers (check).
Seriously, the cruelest people are far more humane than Mother Nature, who really doesn't give a rat's ass about anybody or anything.
Iz out!

Wow, what an interesting talk. He's a pretty smart guy.
Whenever I see his name, I have to laugh. I had a coworker who was taking an order from a lab tech at Louisiana State University. She asked if the order should ship to anyone's attention, and he said "Yes, attention Mike Rowe". So she put that on the attention line.
The next week, when our sales rep walked into the MICRObiology department, everyone was wearing nametags that said "MIKE ROWE". :)
"Mike Rowe"-biology.
HAHAHAHA! Most Excellent, Julie!
Good stuff, Ken. Thanks for the link!
