Your words: 'Vegans really do think plants are not as valued as animals, and I find that a little less than conscious... but I still love my vegan friends.'
Is that the kind of value system you mean? ;)
Good luck then!

Ps: now if you hadn't left this thread you could try and point out where I showed a value system like that. Would have been interesting.

PPS: Just checked your blog.
Had no idea you were 'enlightened'.
Now I understand...
