"Slavery was once tradition, as were public executions and segregation and organized torture and child labour and bear-baiting. When the people spoke up and demanded that all of these barbaric amusements were abolished, the Church and governments opposed the people."
Wow. Deep. As in deeply wrong.
The idea "the people" rose up to demand the end of those awful practices is laughable. Some people, perhaps, such as Wilberforce (slavery) or Martin (bear-baiting) were instrumental in the banning of those things, but "the people" were simply not educated or organised enough to demand anything.
The government and the Church, rather than resisting such change, were in fact driving forces.

He mentioned Karl Marx in a positive way.
'How can animals protest? They can't, and they rely on people such as me to speak up for them.'
Jeez - he really has lost the plot. He's delusional. You gotta love him though...Bless!
