I have made my own choice, which is vegetarianism, but it's not the choice I'm imposing on anybody else.

I'm human, just like anybody else.

I can't count the times that upon telling someone I am vegetarian, he or she responded by pointing out an inconsistency in my lifestyle or trying to find a flaw in an argument I never made. (I have often felt that my vegetarianism matters more to such people than it does to me.)

Ironically, the utterly unselective omnivore -- "I'm easy; I'll eat anything" -- can appear more socially sensitive than the individual who tries to eat in a way that is good for society.

If I fall, I fall. I'll rise up like anybody else.

I made the tenor sax - there's nobody plays like me and I don't play like anybody else.
