Is it possible that the Koch brothers are vegetarian environmentalists?
For example, consider vegetarianism.

If you believe that:
#1. Beef comes from cows

and you believe that:
#2. Cows aren't plants

and you eat beef, then you won't consider yourself to be a vegetarian.

However, some people are more skeptical. They don't see Venus Flytraps growing like dandelions near their homes, but they know that Venus Flytraps exist. If a plant can eat a fly, then why can't a plant eat a blade of grass? Local cows say "moo", and appear to be animals, but does that justify a theory of global mooing?

2. No. Why is a carrot more orange than an orange? nt

3. Having grown up summering on a farm I can see how one might mistake ruminants for plants.
Seeing as they don't do a damned thing. However plants don't f**k, there has never been proof of any plant reproducing by this means...sheep and cows f**k and thus we can know they're not plants.

They're ruminants and thus they're about as active and intelligent as dirt...but they're definitely mammals nevertheless.

6. Never heard of the birds ...
AND the bees. OK they're just proxy phucks but they reproduce anyway.

7. You ever see a movie where the nice philanthropic guy supports various worthy causes
..... then turns out to be the godfather of a blood thirsty Vampire family?
