Life was better with bacon. A vegetarian for some twenty years now, I am still not entirely at peace with it. I love animals deeply, all of them, tho some species are more liked than others and a few are barely in the tent, I have managed to stay true to the cause. I have come to the understanding and agreement that no 'cause' is pure and unblemished and one must simply overcome temptation. Perhaps when I am breathing my last, I will ask for one measly strip of bacon, one more moment of ecstasy before I am no more. God, make it so!
