If you cannot speak the truth accurately and without howling abuse in my face why in the world should I listen to your version of the message? It would help if you knew some of the real history of the struggle you so recently took up.

Whether or not you have license to speak for those who cannot, you do not have the right to silence me in favor of your own version of the issues. You are ignorant of my actions and my needs. You want to change the world? Get in line with the rest of us who have been doing it for decades rather than accuse us of initiating and enabling the powers that be.

Or do you now propose that some animals are more equal than others?
